I think that attrubutes are defining the metronome settings? I do not
know If the "swing relation" 67/33 will change with the Tempo? Anyway,
not wrong an option to set this relation.
Fast Swing to Very Fast Swing: (252, 264, 276, 288, 304, 320, 336, ...)
Up Swing: (208, 216, 224, 232, 240,)
Medium Up Swing: (160, 168, 176, 184, 192, 200)
Medium Swing: (120, 126, 132, 138, 144, 152)
Moderate Swing: (104, 108, 112, 116)
Slow Swing: (88, 92, 96, 100)
Medium Ballad: (72, 76, 80, 84)
Slow Ballad: (..., 60, 63, 66, 69)
I got the list from a jazz workshop but was told that tempo is always an
interpreters choice. (May be the "swing relation" as well?
For comparison, Wikipedia says:
Prestissimo ; extremely fast (more than 200 bpm)
Presto ; very fast (168;200 bpm)
Allegro ; fast and bright or "march tempo" (120;168 bpm)
Moderato ; moderately (108;120 bpm)
Andante ; at a walking pace (761;108 bpm)
Adagio ; slow and stately (literally, "at ease") (66;76 bpm)
Larghetto ; rather broadly (60;66 bpm)

Hi all,

The real swing has a duration relation of about 67/33 (music scientists say)
There are different swings — hard, soft, medium, etc. — and the ratios are
different for each.
For a Lilypond function that adjusts the MIDI performance and/or notation, it
would be nice to be able to dictate the ratio.
Best,
Kieren.
