I just had an "offbeat triplets" kind of situation. What do 16th notes in 8th swing sound like? SoundSlice does [straight 16th + (what's left) + triplet 8th] (needs a 32nd triplet to write out). MuseScore gives up. What does Sibelius do? Is there a right answer? @adamneelybasspic.twitter.com/9tYvMcB0ka

Oh, Google finds everything.

first time I ran into swing in musescore was when I was trying to transcribe JUMPin' JUMP UP and people went "uh those don't actually need to be written as triplets"
-
Ha :-) Yeah swing seems to be one of those things that "you just learn" but nobody has written out a precise algorithm for, with all the corner cases. Or if there is one I can't find it.

I should look into what drum machines with a “swing” setting do also. I assume equally divide each eighth in half but who knows. Would be interesting but probably sound bad if they had recursive swing
-
Just dividing the swung 8th in half would be identical to a plain triplet, like the second half of each line, since the first 8th becomes two triplet 8ths when swung. That was what *I* thought might happen, but then why would you notate it like that?

Hey, I'm the guy who implemented the Soundslice bit. I do indeed think there's no firm right answer, but our approach seemed the most correct to me at the time. Curious to hear whether you find better options.
-
Hi! Mind sharing how your algorithm works? My naive guess is that it would look for 8th notes at exact offbeat positions, and shrink them forward into triplet 8ths extending whatever note came before them, but I haven't run any tests to see if that's accurate :)
