Hi! At a certain point in my song I've successfully laid in a symbol that tells the performer to start playing two eighth notes as a dotted eighth and a sixteenth. But eventually I want it to revert to playing the two eighth notes as written. I can't find the symbol for "an eighth note = an eighth note." I managed to do a cut and paste job so it appears exactly as I want, and that's fine, but when doing playback it ignores my paste-up job and still plays it as a dotted eighth and a sixteenth.

Any tips on how to get it to officially revert back?

Thanks!

Tom

Typing the word 'straight' (without quotes) as tempo text (ctrl alt T) would, I believe, get things back to normal. Likewise 'swing' seems to be preferred over metric modulation notation.
