Help: Permanent invisible swing rhythm?
Hello forum,
I'm working on a song and for some reason, during playback one of my instruments seems to be in a swing or other odd rhythm, but none of the rest, so one voice's quarter/eighth notes are changing at different times than the rest of the score, and it's really bothering me. I've been looking for a source of how or why this is happening so I could fix it, but I can't find anything out of place and I'm about to start wondering if I'm just going insane.
Update:
I've uploaded the song I'm working on. The problem voice is the Mezzo-Soprano voice called "Rose". The issue is most noticeable anywhere she says "There is magic" specifically in measures 22-35 and 40-53.
Looking at it again today I honestly can't tell if it's in swing rhythm or if some parts of her audio are just starting half a beat early.

The dotted quarter followed by half notes sound out of phase with the other instruments' quarter notes and (i presume) they are meant to sound that way just by their written timings and not by a playback style setting such as Swing, Did you compose this, copy this from sheet music or import it from an audio source?

I composed this myself, it's not copied from anything. the dotted quarter followed by half notes are supposed to be out of sinc, but the problem is that they're coming in too early. It starts in the pervious measures actually, where instead of an eighth followed by a dotted quarter it sounds like an eighth and a quarter or another eighth, and the next measure is bumped forward as a result. Is that what it sounds like to you? Maybe my software just needs to be updated or restarted if it's not happening to you.
