Which brings up a couple of questions (I'm on mac 2005b):
1. Is there any way to get the jazz HP style to swing and stay
swinging at a
setting of 75 instead of the default 100? When I try to adjust
this in the
playback controls I have to reset it over and over again, for
almost every
playback. Do I need to set up a custom style? Seems like I was
even having
trouble with that at one point.
Yes, there is a way to do this. Darcy told me how some time ago.
You must start with Jazz Style playback with a 75% swing setting (or
even less), then choose a custom playback style. The new custom
style will be based on the jazz style by default, and will keep the
swing setting you have specified. I don't think Darcy is sure why
this works, but it does.
Darcy also suggests turning off "Short syncopations - off beats" in
the Custom Style dialog, and I concur.
2. Using jazz HP style, is there a way to take the swing off a
section of
music (actually just 5 beats of vln. 2)? I thought the Apply HP
plugin
would have been able to do this sort of thing but I couldn't
immediately
make it happen.
I think this is done with a staff style which applies HP, then you
can select what parts of the document you want to have swing and what
parts not. I haven't tried this yet. I'd be getting into parts of
measures and all kinds of fussiness.
I'm sure this first part of this answer will solve the first
problem. The second one....I don't know.
Chuck
TIA for any help with this.

For jazz, it wasn't even a little kazoo band until HP was introduced
(when was that?). Listening to the even 8th during proofread was so
painful back then.
Even in 2002 you could have swing playback in defined amounts (the
lighter the better, as far as I am concerned), and maybe before that
version too. I didn't use it much at the time, but the lab
computers at
school still have 2002, and there it is.
