Real Jazzers write them in straight 8ths, 'nuff said. Chance is that if you don't know what it should sound like, it doesn't matter if it's written in 1:1, 3:1, 2:1, it just won't come out the right way.
That said, I'd love it if you could instruct it to be swing and have the midi converter interprete it correctly (at least in a first approximation).
Written in straight 8ths, yes; and if there's any chance of misunderstanding, write "swing" at the top - along with that little diagram mentioned by the original poster if you want.
Midi is a different story altogether. Machine-produced midi renditions sound so mechanical anyway - would it really be worth all the work to get pseudo-swing that never sounds quite right?
