On the first notes of each voice (eight voices score) there is already an expression for "mezzopiano" velocity, could this get in conflict? I'm really getting crazy. I have to send the score to classically oriented singers along with a MIDI example and would avoid to write dotted eight+sixteen to explain graphically the concept of swing and moreover the result in playback would be obviously not swing. I add that I tried to set the swing effect at the beginning of the score using playback options and it works! But I don't need swing for the first 30 bars of it. Really stuck....
