Hi everyone,

I searched the archives and found a few discussions about
generating swing-feel MIDI from straight eighths Lily
source but the most recent was from 2004.

I was thinking about writing a Scheme function to carve
up all of the durations into units of eighths, inserting
the proper ties to maintain longer notes.  Then I could
imagine altering the durations as appropriate to implement
the swing feel.

if you're only interested in adding swing to the MIDI (not the notation), it will be a lot easier to multiply durations suitably, ie. do

  c8  c8 -> c8*2/3 c8*1/3

Doing note splitting with correct ties would be a royal pain in the behind.
