Hi there,

Just wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to select a few bars only within a composition to be played in a swing style. I can apply it to the whole piece, but my pupil just wants it for a section.

Thanks

Add a "Swing" system text from the text pallet where you want the swing to start.
Add another "Swing" text where you want it to end.
Right click on the later "Swing" text and select "System text properties" from the pop up menu.
Select the "Swing settings" tab in the dialogue and tick the "off" option.
Click ok to close the dialogue.
Double click on the text to edit it to read "Straight" rather than "Swing"

All done.

And after reading the handbook, it turns out that at step 2 you can now add a "Straight" text directly from the Master Pallett instead, and then you are done. (and you can add that "Straight" text to the "Text" Pallett for later use, if you want, in the regular way.

As taken from the text palette of the master palette (or via "More" of the 'normal' workspace text palette)

You need to read the chapter on Swing in the handbook. And in particular the part about Return to straight rhythm.
