forcing notation to as performed

Hello Ian,

I started to write up a tedious set of instructions for how to use piano roll to do this. You can take a pair of notated 8th notes, and hit the "33" key to change them to a notated and performed swing. That much is easy to do, except that you have to do it a pair of notes at a time, which is tedious. It gets even more tedious, however, to then keep the performed swing rhythm in tact while restoring the written-out swing to a simple pair of 8th notes again. This was so difficult to do, that I recommend that you don't even try it. If I can't figure out how to do it easily, there are only a few other people who have a chance of pulling it off (eg, Sherry and David).

So, I hate to say it, but there just isn't a good way to instruct Composer to interpret the 8th note pairs as a performed swing rhythm. That is a very common need for jazz. Other notation programs support this. So should Composer.

In the upcoming version 2.6, I'll add a swing interpretation feature that will make it easy to do this. When you see that feature in 2.6, you can say to yourself, "I got that feature added to Composer!"

It's task #2082.

Cheers
