Greetings! I'm new to the list (though not to Finale) and have a
question about swing playback.
I scanned music, converted it to MusicXML format using SharpEye, then
imported it into Finale 2005 for editing. The music contains standard
triplets, dotted 8th/16th combinations, and pairs of regular eighth notes.
I ultimately want to save the Finale score as a MIDI file that will play back as
follows:
--standard triplets: as written
--dotted 8th/16th combinations: as swing eighths (2:1) instead
of as written (3:1)
--regular eighths: as swing eighths (2:1) instead of as written
(1:1)
I have much experience using the playback swing settings to play notated
regular eighths as swing eighths, which carries over fine when files
are saved as MIDI. However, I'm not experienced with altering the playback
of the dotted 8th/16th combinations without having to change the notation.
I have fiddled with the Human Playback features that would seem to be relevant,
but they do not change that playback rhythm from the notated 3:1 to the desired
2:1. Alternatively, if playback techniques will not work, would
appreciate your advice on whether you can change a rhythmic figure (dotted
8th/16th) globally when the pitches are not the same throughout.
Thanks very much.
