It would be nice to make the amount of swing a context parameter, so
it could be set anywhere from, say, 1:3 to 3:1, rather than being a
fixed 2:1.
This discussion also reminds me of some baroque rhythms printed a8.
b16, which may be played a8.. b32.

Not just Jazz. Early music does the same (look up inégalité). It's
on my TODO list for the improved MIDI script, but I think it's a bit
hard to do in Scheme (need to do look-ahead in the list of chords),
and anyway I have no time to work on it at present.
What I'd like to see is a general rubato function, that:
1. takes a parameter (maybe call it `swing') that lengthens on-beat
phrases, and shortens off-beat phrases by the same amount (so
convert
a8 b to \times 2/3 { a4 b8 } or { a8 b16 c } to \times 2/3 {a4
b16 c}
or similar)
2. Within phrasing slurs does a slight accelerando into the phrase
and a slight decelerando to a-tempo at the end
But I couldn't work out how to code it in scheme.
