## Overview

Music in “straight” time is performed strictly as written in the score. By contrast, music in **swing** time interpets straight eigth and sixteenth notes as triplet pairs, with the first of the pair being roughly twice as long as the second. This gives the rhythm a characteristic bouncy feel—often asssociated with Jazz music. e.g.

Swung eighths:

Swung sixteenths:

Rather than notate swung music exactly as performed, it is accepted convention to write it in straight time and simply provide the written indications “Swing and “Straight” at appropriate points in the score.

Swing markings have a playback effect on the score. The default swing ratio is 60% (3:2) but you can vary this to suit the feel of the piece if required.

## Adding a swing or straight marking to your score

### To add a swing marking

1. Clique na nota ou pausa de destino
2. Clique no texto **Swing** na paleta **Tempo**.

Como alternativa, você pode arrastar e soltar o texto **Swing** da paleta sobre a nota ou pausa em questão.

Você pode, se desejar, adicionar também uma [marcação visual de swing](https://musescore.org/en/node/266325).

### To add a straight marking

1. Clique na nota ou pausa de destino
2. Clique no texto **Straight** na paleta **Tempo**.

Note that the above markings are a form of [System text](/pt_br/text/staff-system-and-expression-text.md) and therefore the playback effect is applied to all staves in the system. If you want swing to apply to only one staff you can use [Staff text](/pt_br/text/staff-system-and-expression-text.md) instead: see below.

## Changing swing playback

### Adjust the type and degree of swing

1. Clique com o botão direito no texto **Swing** na partitura e selecione **Propriedades do texto de sistema**.
2. Na aba **Configurações de swing** edite “Swing” e “Proporção de swing” conforme necessário.

**Nota**: As configurações de swing são encontradas tanto no texto de sistema quanto no texto de pauta.

### Apply swing to one staff only

Se quiser que o swing seja aplicado a apenas uma pauta no sistema, use texto de pauta em vez disso:

1. Selecione a nota ou pausa de destino.
2. Clique na indicação **Texto de pauta** na paleta **Texto**.
3. Edite o texto para criar a indicação de performance desejada
4. Clique com o botão direito no texto e selecione **Propriedades do texto de pauta**. Alternativamente, selecione o objeto de texto e, no painel **Propriedades**, clique no botão **Propriedades do texto de pauta**.
5. Na aba **Configurações de swing** edite “Swing” e “Proporção de swing” conforme necessário.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://handbook.musescore.org/pt_br/sound-and-playback/swing-playback.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
