Advanced swinging
Posted: Mon Jun 27, 2011 11:45 am
I am looking at a piece at the moment which has several distinct sections. Some of the sections swing and some require the piece played as straight 8ths. I only know how to swing the whole piece on playback, rather than distinct sections. Is there a was of specifying which measures should swing and which should play straight?
Also, I have so far only needed to swing 8th notes. This piece requires me to swing 16th notes so that two 16ths = tuplet: 8th +16th. I haven't a clue how to do this.
Finally, is there a way of highlighting section of the piece, akin to using the highlighter in mircrosoft word? I'm sure there must be an icon to do this, but I just haven't found it yet.
And before you ask, i've not been able to get the help videos to run on my system due to some kind of software conflict, hence my posting here.
Thanks again in advance.
