How do I change the tempo from swing back to straight eighth notes?
Hi, everyone!
I am trying to figure out how to get the "swung" eighth notes back to "straight" eighth notes for a piece I am writing for piano.
Any tips or suggestions?

Enter another swing text, right click the text and choose text properties, you can then select the swing tab and set it to off.

Yep! All I had to do was take out the "swing" text and replace the eighth notes with triplets.

Not really, triplets are much harder to read. If you've already done the work, I guess it's too late to fix, but simply doing it with the text is far easier and also much easier to read, so that's something to keep in mind for next time.
