Re: How to get swing feel from dotted notation?

[BB]

I think that attrubutes are defining the metronome settings? I do not 
know If the "swing relation" 67/33 will change with the Tempo? Anyway, 
not wrong an option to set this relation.

    Fast Swing to Very Fast Swing: (252, 264, 276, 288, 304, 320, 336, ...)
    Up Swing: (208, 216, 224, 232, 240,)
    Medium Up Swing: (160, 168, 176, 184, 192, 200)
    Medium Swing: (120, 126, 132, 138, 144, 152)
    Moderate Swing: (104, 108, 112, 116)
    Slow Swing: (88, 92, 96, 100)
    Medium Ballad: (72, 76, 80, 84)
    Slow Ballad: (..., 60, 63, 66, 69)

I got the list from a jazz workshop but was told that tempo is always an 
interpreters choice. (May be the "swing relation" as well?


For comparison, Wikipedia says:

    Prestissimo ; extremely fast (more than 200 bpm)
    Presto ; very fast (168;200 bpm)
    Allegro ; fast and bright or "march tempo" (120;168 bpm)
    Moderato ; moderately (108;120 bpm)
    Andante ; at a walking pace (761;108 bpm)
    Adagio ; slow and stately (literally, "at ease") (66;76 bpm)
    Larghetto ; rather broadly (60;66 bpm)
