I have a few songs with melodies that that are very precise and would sound a little more natural if humanised. The style is ev8 4/4 bossa. I used =AQUA, though I guess others would behave the same.

I just started with a Latin number and so used Melody->Edit Melody Track->Quantize, Time Adjust->Humanize with Straight Feel
(I've since tried using the "Humanize Melody" option from the same menu and reduced the "Change 8th note spacing" so the before and after values are closer ... that seems to give a much better outcome).

But ... the output is definitely swinging, if only a modest amout, and it sounds quite odd against a straight accompaniment.

Am I missing something, some set-up?
Here's a clip of the resulting piano-roll:
