Swing sounds on the contrary

[jose oscar]

When I playback the file with Swing, the long notes sound short, and the short notes as long.

I appreciate your help

We need more info from you:

Please give a more precise specification of the swing level.
What note values should be long - and what note values should be short?

And please specify the steps you take to get Swing playback.

Thank you, Peter;
Long notes (2 beats out of a triplet feeling)) the first crotchet
Short notes: (1 beat out of a triplet feeling) the second crotchet

In measure 1 of the attachment uploaded:

Jose,

I tried a couple of things, and I'm not sure which one helped, but...

First, set your time signature as 4/4, displaying as 2/2. I've found that there are problems swinging the eight notes, unless the basic beat is 4. Also, swing of 100 is pretty subtle. I boosted it to 200, and I was happier with the sound.

Thank you very much, miker,

It works as you said: set the time signature as 4/4, displaying as 2/2

Have a nice week
