Re: Swing notation in LilyPond?

[Graham Percival]

1)  You go to LSR:
http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/

and type in "swing".

2)  You could probably do this by scaling durations: c8*3/2 or
something like that.  Check the manual and experiment.  Once you
figure out how to do it with scaling durations, it should be
possible to write a function which does it.  Consult the later
chapters in the docs.

3)  These questions should be sent to lilypond-user, not this
list.

Cheers,
