Swing

The most common convention is to notate “swung” eighth notes as standard eighth notes, with the word Swing above the score (usually on the first page, with the tempo marking). Finale follows this convention in transcribing real-time performances. Note the Jazz Human Playback style applies a swing feel to your score. See Playback Settings dialog box.
