Oops! Came accrost something earlier and found out I had something in correct terms confused. Swing time is the samething as triplet time. Triplet (or swing) time refers to an equation like 2 eighth notes is equal to a quarter and an eighth note triplet. I alway referred to that as triplet and only triplet time. Swing time was a certain imperfect lenght of beats. Simply put in 2/4, the first beat would be longer than the second beat. Creating that swing like fashion but different than (not as strict) what is triplet feel. I guess I made up my own seperate theoretical defintion for each, but anyways sorry if I confused anybody. Just trying to think vertically rather than horizontally.
