how to get a jazz swing

Hi,

I made a piece for double bass. How do I get a swing rhythm in the midi 
output?


Thanks in advance,

Unfortunately you don't (yet):

optimistic about it.)

mmh that's a pita.. Swing is used pretty often in midi of course.
I hope there will be more hope soon.
Now I maybe can fix something with qtractor from svn

I'verelied on writing a separate part for the midi output that uses 6/8, 9/8 
etc...instead of 2/4, 3/4...have to add lots of \times 2/3 {} code.

 

It's brutal, yes, but if you already have the parts written for the PDF output 
it should not take long to make the special version.

mmh I do try it now with openoctave midi, a fork of Rosegarden:

www.openoctave.org

It has a swing option.

Most, if not all, MIDI sequencers will let you humanize the
playback, increasing or decreasing the amount of swing needed.
