Enabling swing playback for specific sections/players

You can enable swing playback for specific sections in your project and for individual players independently, for example, if you want only the soloist to swing for a twelve-bar section.

Procedure

In Write mode, select an item at the start of the bar where you want to change the rhythmic feel for swing playback.

Note
If you select an item in the middle of a bar, the rhythmic feel change only takes effect from the start of the next bar.
Press Shift-T to open the tempo popover.
Enter the rhythmic feel you want into the popover. For example, enter med for Medium swing.

When you start entering a rhythmic feel into the tempo popover, a menu appears that shows suggested rhythmic feels containing the letters/words you enter, which you can select.
Input the rhythmic feel change and close the popover in one of the following ways:
- To input a rhythmic feel change for all staves, press Return.
- To input a rhythmic feel change only for the selected staff, press Alt-Return.

Result

The rhythmic feel used for swing playback is changed from the start of the bar, or the start of the next bar if you selected an item in the middle of a bar. If you pressed Alt-Return, the rhythmic feel change only applies to the staff on which you selected an item.

A signpost appears showing the name of the rhythmic feel you input. It is shown above the top staff in the system for rhythmic feel changes that apply to all staves, and directly above an individual staff for rhythmic feel changes that apply only to that staff.
