|Welcome. Take a seat.
|-
|Nicole
|Er, you're probably sitting already.
|-
|Nicole
|The rush hour's over, so things should be a little more low-key.
|-
|Nicole
|Make yourself comfortable. There's a dusty keyboard over there, maybe you can toy around with it.
|-
|Nicole
|Oh, look who it is.
|-
|Cole
|Hey! I'll get my usual.
|-
|Nicole
|The morning usual or afternoon usual?
|-
|Cole
|Afternoon. I'm just vibing for now.
|-
|Nicole
|Coming right up.
|-
|Cole
|You met the intern finger too, huh? Wild.
|-
|Nicole
|Yeah. I was just talking about you earlier, actually.
|-
|Cole
|Really?
|-
|Nicole
|Yeah, I was talking about how great the stuff on your Bandcloud is.
|-
|Cole
|Woah, for real?
|-
|Cole
|...nah, you're lying.
|-
|Nicole
|Yeah. I'm lying.
|-
|Nicole
|I've got a job already. Can't be your "pass out my mixtapes" person.
|-
|Cole
|Sure you can. We're at that level of friendship, right?
|-
|Nicole
|Almost. Keep workin' at it, bud.
|-
|Nicole
|Here's your order.
|-
|Nicole
|Don't tell number twenty-seven that I let you skip them in line.
|-
|Cole
|Secret's safe with me. Thanks.
|-
|Cole
|I know it's in a hospital, but is it weird to like the vibe in here?
|-
|Nicole
|You like it here?
|-
|Cole
|Yeah. It's got atmosphere, y'know?
|-
|Nicole
|Haha, whatever you say.
|-
|Nicole
|Aside from doctors, I'm used to serving hipster loners in here.
|-
|Nicole
|So I'm glad I can help maintain your pristine, natural habitat.
|-
|Cole
|Hey...
|-
|Nicole
|Just kidding. Well, not really.
|-
|Cole
|I like this song. What is it?
|-
|Nicole
|I mean, it doesn't really have a name.
|-
|Nicole
|Just an old file I still put on sometimes.
|-
|Cole
|Wait... is this YOU? That's you, on guitar?
|-
|Nicole
|Yeah. This is from a while ago. I used to dabble.
|-
|Cole
|Woah, that's awesome. I didn't realize you were a musician.
|-
|Nicole
|Heh, I'm not sure I'd call myself that. I just strum around.
|-
|Cole
|But still...this is great. It sets the mood.
|-
|Nicole
|I barely even remember making this.
|-
|Nicole
|It's like my younger self is here, keeping me company with her guitar.
|-
|Nicole
|Maybe that's why I keep it in rotation.
|-
|Nicole
|To keep myself company.
|-
|Cole
|Makes sense to me. I get that.
|-
|Nicole
|Y'know, you mentioned something yesterday, that you need coffee to write music.
|-
|Nicole
|Why is that?
|-
|Cole
|I don't know. Sometimes I can't come up with ideas.
|-
|Cole
|Other times...I just get in my own head.
|-
|Cole
|Like, "maybe I accidentally stole this chord progression from something I already heard..."
|-
|Cole
|I get trapped in that...it's frustrating.
|-
|Cole
|But when I drink coffee...it helps me stop thinking about that stuff.
|-
|Cole
|I can stay up late, so late that I can't even think straight.
|-
|Cole
|Then, finally, I can write music.
|-
|Nicole
|Well, glad I can help, then. All finished?
|-
|Cole
|Yeah. I should probably head to my room.
|-
|Cole
|See ya around, Nicole.
|-
|Nicole
|Thanks for the chat. Later!

''This page describes the Swing gimmick as it is first introduced in 3-3. For other gimmicks that incorporate elements of Swing, see [[Syncopation]] and [[Free Time Beats]].''

== Description ==
[[File:SamuraiSwingBeat.png|thumb|A row with swing applied to it.]]
Swing (also ''Swing beats'' or ''Heart block'') is a gimmick that causes even pulses to occur a set amount of beats earlier or later than a [[Classic Beats|Classic Beat]], giving the row an uneven feel. Despite their differing appearance, rows affected by swing have the same hit timing as a Classic Beat of the same tick speed. While swing is not exclusive to any character, the gimmick is associated with [[Mr. Stevenson]] and [[Mrs. Stevenson]].

== Levels ==
*[[Distant Duet]] (Tutorialized)
*[[Distant Duet (Night)]]
*[[Chinese New Year]]
*[[One Shift More]]
*[[One Shift More (Rhythm Dogtor)]]
*[[Steinway]]
*[[Steinway Reprise]]
*[[Helping Hands]]
*[[Worn Out Tapes]]
*[[tape/stop/night]]

== Cueing ==
Swing has no unique audio cue, but can be identified by listening to the spacing of pulse sounds. Rows affected by swing will also appear to have curved pulses (colloquially referred to as "banana beats") that curve left before a longer pause, and shake into place on the beat after.

To apply swing in the editor, select a Classic Beat, then adjust the "Swing" slider to the appropriate amount of beats or type a value in the text box beside it.

== History ==

== Trivia ==
*In the flash prototype of Rhythm Doctor, there was no visual cue for swing.
