Scottish Snap using the Musescore 4 Swing function.

• Mar 9, 2025 - 14:26

Hello!

In musescore 4 the swing function is very useful, but does anyone know if there is a way to set the ratio, so you get a short-long pattern like is found in quite a lot of traditional Scottish tunes?
Something like this:

I know it would be possible to notate it all manually, but I'd like to be able to adjust the ratio if possible.

Thanks!

What I want to figure out is an easy way to enter them!

If I want the other rhythm (dotted eighth, sixteenth), I can quickly enter eighths and then go back and add a dot to the first of every pair. Can't do that for the "Scottish Snap" rhythm (sixteenth, dotted eighth). :-(
