PreSonus Notion 6 - Notation Software (Boxed) - Manual (Page 179)

One of the many innovative features of Notion is a variable swing lilt you can hear on playback . You can adjust its
timing so it’s subtle or wildly pronounced . You place this feature in any number of places in your score using three
components: a marking to start the swing feel, a marking to return to standard interpretation, and a slider to adjust
the amount of push before or after the beat . NOTE: The swing feel does not affect the playback of triplets .
1 . Press Shift + G:
> Once, if you want eighth note values affected across all staves in a system . You view Swing (all) on your Music
Cursor .
> Twice, if you want only 16th notes affected across all staves in a system . You view Swing 16ths (all) on your Music
Cursor .
> Four times, if you all note values affected for only one staff . You view Swing (staff) on your Music Cursor .
> Five times, if you want only 16th notes affected for only one staff . You view Swing 16ths (staff) on your
Music Cursor .
