I'd also add 3., hoping not to confuse the OP, but it can also be used 
to add 'swing' to 'straight' rhythms and other similar funky stuff :-)

A while ago I did a quick demo of using the 'swing' parameter in 
Rosegarden's quantize for someone.
Unfortunately I notice I did not show the matrix nor the quantize window 
long enough maybe - I think I was just trying to demonstrate the 'audio' 
result and swing capability
