What command are you using? There is this one:
Command: Swing Staff
Changes the playback duration of pairs of 𝅘𝅥𝅮 notes for swing or notes
inègales. Does not affect typesetting.
Location: Object Menu ▶ Staffs/Voices ▶ Playback
Internal Name: SwingStaff
as it says it only changes the playback duration of pairs of 1/8th
notes. It does not affect the typeset, and only affects the display
inasmuch as it marks in blue notes whose durations have been tweaked.
To do anything more complex you need the command:
Command: Change Sounding Duration
Changes the duration of the note a the cursor for playback purposes,
typesetting unaffected.
Location: Object Menu ▶ Notes/Rests ▶ Playback
Internal Name: ChangeSoundingDuration

you don't need C to change the duration of a note, you can do it
without recompiling Denemo, look at the code for the above command
(right click on the menu item and choose "Get Script into Scheme
Window" to see the script used).
