You could enter the last four quavers of swing as 2:3 tuplets (EDIT 2:2) and then hide any tuplet indications. I know itâs not the point youâre asking about but does it sound correct?
I could? but I want 4 eights
Hi @Avremi_Gourarie you could add a dashed barline (or break the bar in two, with two pick-ups bars and hidden time signature):
If you donât want to se a dashed barline, you could first set a dashed barline, and then (when Dorico created the pickup bar) apply on top of the dashed barline a Tick bar line and set its Out value to -1 in Properties panel, to make it invisible.
Yes. If you remove the tuplet number/bracket then they will appear to be four 8ths.
Ty. amazing. could I hide the dashed bar?
I entered this in my previous post after the fact :
Ty, that works
Only issue with this method. All bars of whole note rests are now 2 half note rests (cos it splits the bar)
I hope Dorico can adress this in future updates
Have you tried my method yet?
Yes, it doesnât seem appropriate that there is a swing indication within a bar but it doesnât change until the next.
Yes, I noticed this*. But probably you want to write some Straight text there, so the musicians know where exactly the feel change is happening, so two rests or even a dashed barline arenât to bad, to be able to show the change of feel on the third beat (with some System text as âStraight againâ)?
(*) This is the expected behaviour currently, by the way:
trying 2:3 . Buts itâs 4/4. can you demonstrate?
I think you may be right a âtickâ barline not such a bad idea/ ty
Sorry, youâre right
Does a 2:2 tuplet work?
Alas, not
What happens if you select the last four quavers of swing and set the properties Playback start offset to zero and Playback end offset to -12? When I do this, these quavers playback without swing.
Bingo!!! Simplest solution!!! TY!!!
