Hi all,
I wonder if there's a way in Melody Assistant to print swing / quantization effects in a score to indicate when two eighth notes might have a different value (image attached).
Similarly, I'd like to be able to print whenever the swing doesn't take effect any longer (that is: print a "two eighth notes equal two eighth notes" symbol).
Anybody knows how to do this?
Cheers,
Joan

I assume that you've already applied the swing effect on a section of your music. Now, you can use a text object to show the swing indication (first button of the miscellaneous tools palette). Now, you enter the escape sequence :
$([8 8])=$([8. 16]). To show the return to regular rhythm, the sequence is $([8 8])=$([8 8]). Now, on most of my scores, I only get the "swing" or "regular notes" indications.
Note : this sequence is meant to show a "hard" swing. There is another one that uses a quarter note + an eighth note in a 3:2 tuplet.
<Edit>I don't know what wrong with my borwser, but at first it didn't show your example picture... This is the second escape sequence :
$([8 8])=$([4:3 8:3])</edit>

Great, I didn't know you could write note symbols directly with the Text tool, thanks! 
Do you know how to write the soft swing (with the quarter and the eight in a 3:2 tuplet)?
Cheers,
Joan

The program documentation gives examples of how to write note-equivalents using Special Text:
Help > Documentation > Notation > Text commands >
Aide > Documentation > Notation > Textes spéciaux >
An example is shown at the top of the attachment below.
If a more detailed tuplet is required, it can be written on an extra stave at the top of the score.
In Staves > Display options, this can be made smaller, line colour = white, the bar-lines, clef & time-signature invisible.
In Score > Page mode setup, only the (non-empty) first line can be printed (allocated space).
Alternatively, a screenshot may be taken of various equivalent notations and imported as required.
