HOW TO CONVERT ANYTHING TO SWING IN TEN SECONDS

(Tested with LMMS 1.1.3, probably also works with other versions)

This is really, really cool! I just barely discovered this feature, and I love how I no longer have to move each note individually if I want a "swing" rhythm.

Normally you would do it by offsetting certain notes (but only some of them) by a 24th or a 48th to make the notes land on triplets, but I found a shortcut!

1. Select all the notes you want to swingify
2. Cut them (Ctrl + X)
3. Change the note thingy to 1/12 (it's to the right of the Zoom, by default it's 1/16. It's possible that you'll have to choose 1/24 or 1/6 rather than 1/12)
4. Paste the notes (Ctrl + V)

...and you're done! If very few (or too many) changes were made, you may have to choose something other than 1/12. Also, doing this might mess up some notes that are in an unusual spot compared to other notes, e.g. offset by a 32nd while all other notes are on a 16th. That can easily be fixed manually.

Have fun swinging! :D
