Documentation change suggestion for Swing and Straight Melodies.
Ok I have two pieces that have a 'Swing' beat, then a 'Straight' Beat and then Back to 'Swing'.
The documentation is confusing, or at least I was confused.
If I click the first note in my piece and then click the Swing text in the Text Palette. Yes it WORKS. My piece is magically 'Swung'. However, there is no WAY to UnSwing it and make it straight again.....
What you need to do INITIALLY is Right click the note go under Style and apply Swing under Score Settings
Then go to the straight section, Right click the note go under Style and remove the Swing.
Basically if you use the Swing shortcut in the Text Palette you can never go Straight again (no pun intended)
I could be wrong, I frequently am, however, this is how it appears to me.....

Apply Swing from the teyt palette, right-cklick it, System text properties/Swing Settings/Off, then double-click and change text to "Straight", basically exactly as described in https://musescore.org/en/handbook/swing#swing-off
Or add any System text and check/set ist Swing settings

OK you can actually right click the text, the actual word 'Swing' Oh I see. OK. I never thought of right clicking the word SWING. I was always trying to right click the note that was 'swung'
Once you understand it is simple....
Maybe it just me then.
But usually when someone makes a conceptual error, there are lots of other people doing it as well....
Anyway, OK.
Just a simple skill you need to learn about MuseScore. Now that I understand of course everything reads fine.... But maybe it could be clearer in the documentation? I would emphasize right clicking the WORD SWING.
