So alongside my Megaman arrangement (which since it's arranged already I might drop, or just work on every once in a while for the practice) I'm doing Gateon Port from Pokemon XD.
In noteflight (the notation program I use before XML importation), it has a "swing meter", where you can adjust the amount of swing. 25% on that meter makes it work perfectly, I'm just wondering how one would notate that in finale.

Not on my Finale computer right now, but if you create a new expression text, you can adjust how it affects the playback in the second tab. Select swing and you will be able to enter a numerical value.

Yea, this. I don't know how much swing you need exactly, if you know what the % equivalent of "standard" swing is in Noteflight, that would help. In Finale...

Light=75
Standard=100
Heavy=125
Dotted Eighth, Sixteenth=150

From listening to the song, its probably between 75 and 100; I'd start at 100 and adjust down from there.
