| 16 | Sometimes you may wish to indicate tempo changes by showing 2 note | |
| 17 | values with an equals sign between them. For simple cases, this is | |
| 18 | fairly straightforward, but if you want to include beamed notes or a triplet, | |
| 19 | a little more work is required. Another use of this notation is to | |
| 20 | show that the music is to be played in "swing time," as in this example, | |
| 21 | which has two ordinary eight notes on one side of the equals sign, | |
| 22 | and a triplet made up of a quarter and eighth note on the other: | |

| 34 | // set X and Y to where the first note will be placed | |
| 35 | define X c.x - 3 @ | |
| 36 | define Y c.y + 5 @ | |
| 37 | ||
| 38 | // print "straight 8ths = triplet quarter plus 8th" | |
| 39 | ||
| 40 | // print the basic notes and equal sign | |
| 41 | print (X, Y) "\(smup4n) \(smup4n) = \(smup4n) \(smup8n)" | |

| 43 | // print the beam between the straight 8th notes | |
| 44 | wide line (X + 2.1, Y + 5.5) to (X + 7.2, Y + 5.5) | |
| 45 | ||
| 46 | // now do the triplet bracket | |
| 47 | line (X + 14.7, Y + 7.0) to (X + 17.6, Y + 7.0) // horz left top segment | |
| 48 | line (X + 19.4, Y + 7.0) to (X + 22.5, Y + 7.0) // horz right top segment | |
| 49 | line (X + 14.7, Y + 7.05) to (X + 14.7, Y + 5.3) // vert left side segment | |
| 50 | line (X + 22.5, Y + 7.05) to (X + 22.5, Y + 5.3) // vert right side segment | |

| 52 | // print the 3 in the middle of the bracket | |
| 53 | print (X + 17.9, Y + 6.1) "\s(8)\f(TI)3" // the 3 for the triplet | |

| 60 | Note that if you want a piece to be played in swing time, | |
| 61 | you may also want to set the | |
| 62 | <A HREF="param.html#swing">swingunit parameter,</A> | |
| 63 | which will make the MIDI output use swing time. | |
