Hi @ruggierobotta, I suggest to use @dan_kreider’s MusGlyphs font.

If you search the forum for Swing Tempo marking you will find several threads discussing this. For example here.

Workflow:
After you installed MusGlyphs font on your system (and restarting Dorico): select the beginning of your piece, press Shift+Alt(Option)+X to start inputting system-attached text. Choose MuseGlyphs text as Font, and activate the Bold option. Write Swing, then spacebar, choose now MusGlyph as font, and write ee=qe3

Then you can insert the real swing playback command, with tempo popover (Shift+T), write swing, and choose (with the down arrow key) one of the options that appear below the popover: the swing feeling will appear as signpost 8that you can hide from menu View/Signposts)
