1) You go to LSR: http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/
and type in "swing". 2) You could probably do this by scaling durations: c8*3/2 or something like that. Check the manual and experiment. Once you figure out how to do it with scaling durations, it should be possible to write a function which does it. Consult the later chapters in the docs. 3) These questions should be sent to lilypond-user, not this list.
