I'm sorry, but I still think this whole thread may hinge more on communication that on BIAB functioning. For example, this little exchange makes my head hurt:

2...did you want swing ??
Yes, definitely, triplet 'swing eighths'.
Quote
3...ok i didnt have any technical hiccups or stumbles here...
its more related to the arrangement of the chords...
am i correct on the e9 chord you want 'da da da'...and followed by f9...
'da da da' again....ie 2 triplet sets ?? e9 followed by f9 ??
ie e9/e9/e9//f9/f9/f9. in one bar ??...// being seperator.
No you don't understand what I am after.
As I explained to Matt, if there was a melody, as jazzers we would simply write a string of eighth notes and nothing more. All jazzers know they are to be played as 'swing eighths' (triplet feel).
The chords that you see on beats 1 and 2 are meant to be played in a triplet feel.
There are only two chords on each beat, not the three you wrote above.
So BIAB please play these two micro chords as triplet feel!
Just the term, "triplet swing eighths" is a problem for me to understand. There are triplets, and there are eighth notes played with swing feel (close to two-thirds, one third duration for two consecutive notes). [Side note: on my notation software, I can actually 'dial in' the amount of that percentage, from evenly timed eighth notes to exaggerated 1930s swing]
Then, we started from the premise that this is a bug in BIAB when it may be more of a query or perhaps an education issue. We are still far from defining a bug.
Could we start over, in the correct forum where it will be noticed better (BIAB for Windows Product Forum)? Post a snippet of music, and/or a music notation, give the genre and feel and tempo and instruments, and ask how to do it in BIAB.
EDIT: Ha. Not surprisingly, Trevor just asked the same thing.
