Begin Doc

   A swing rhythm in 6/8. This is implemented with 6 beats to the bar. If you want to
   use solos written in standard notation set the STRETCH variable to 200; or convert
   the 8th notes to quarters, etc. Since most 6/8 tempos are specified in 2/4 you'll
   most likely want to use a tempo three times what you might think. Also, note that
   when setting chord lines you'll want the second
   chord (which the conductor would beat at ``2'') at position 4 (ie ``C / / G'').
   Written for ``Hey, Look Me Over''.
