Swing on patterns?
Is it possible to use swing in patterns in Logic? I see only swing in a pattern and it is limited to 8 and 16 note divisions, but I don't understand how to swing for a whole row, for example. There is an offset parameter inside the pattern, but then I have to manually write a value for each note. Is there any complete solution to this problem? Extended possibilities of quantizing a pattern with swing and swinging a specific row?

Did you find out?
Unfortunately no
I've been using the note 'offset' method since day 1 (for my drums) with Logic as I thought that was the only method for achieving swing in pattern mode, however your post prompted me to have a look again last night and I suddenly discovered the swing setting as per your screenshot.
I've not sure if I'm misunderstanding your question (as you seem to have already found the swing setting), but increasing the swing % to 60 turned my shaker pattern into a swing pattern with ease, all without having to touch the offset value. I don't know whether I've been doing it wrong this whole time, or whether this 'feature' was added in an update... but swing is now working perfectly for me now, so thanks for drawing my attention to this!

In separate pattern this is possible, I wrote about it, my question was how to do it for row. If you have a big drum part in a pattern and you want to swing only for certain rows, not for all of them. Otherwise you have to make separate patterns for one instrument and swing in them, which is very inconvenient. Offset is ok, but you can’t do offset for example to whole pattern. It has to be done manually for each note, or I don't know how to do it for a single row....
Ah sorry, I understand now! Yes, you're right - you either need to use the function that splits the pattern out into individual 'element' parts (then apply the swing to those patterns only) otherwise swing affects every percussion element in the kit.
I've not found this to be a problem myself, as I tend to want swing on all elements or none.(and I use one drum kit designer for hi-hats, another for snares etc.) Yes I think note offset might be the only option for your particular situation.
