I created a swing expression following the instruction https://usermanuals.finalemusic.com/Fin ... ayback.htm

The swing playback works. Now I need to switch back to even 8th. I tried to assign "straight 8th" but it won't switch. What should I do? Thank you!

In the Playback Tab of the Expression, set Swing to 0 (zero).

Ah, I see what I did wrong. I created it under the "Tempo Marks" category instead of "Expressive text".
Thank you so much!

It can be done in either category.
