Sextuplet vs Swing with 32nd notes?
In the attached score, the "swung" non-tuplet notes that contain a 32nd note are played straight I don't know what the convention is for swung notes that contain 32nd notes. Is that to be expected. It seems to me that the first bar, containing sextuplets, and the second bar should sound the same when Swing is set to 66% for 16th notes. The 3rd and 4th bars demonstrate the playback of straight and swung notes containing 32nd notes are the same in Musescore. Is it a general rule that 2nd and 4th 16th notes in a beat played straight when swing is enabled if they are connected to 32nd notes?
Thanks for the help.

The general rule is that if the beat is subdivided by more than the swing ratio, they are played straight. So, sixteenths are played straight if you are using swing eighths, and 32nds are played straight if using swing sixteenths. Not just in MuseScore, but kind of common sense musicianship in the real world as well.

Makes sense.
