1) To get the symbol for Swing 16ths, use the Expression Tool.
Find the expression for Swing 8ths, duplicate it, and edit the duplicate to show Swing 16ths.
2) Playback is a different problem.
As a quick solution, define the time signature as beats in 8ths:
- instead of 4/4, use 8/8 (you can still use 4/4 for display),
- instead of 3/4, use 6/8 (you can still use 3/4 for display)
However, this “quick solution” has a drawback in case you use Slash Notation, since each slash will be an 8th beat.
Instead, leave the time signature as it is (4/4 or 3/4), and use the Tempo Tool (or the MIDI Tool) to create the {Swing 16ths} playback.
