Most of the jazz transcriptions I've played have been written pretty straight, with the swing left up to the performer.  It's probably best to go with that - the details are bothersome to read. There is also a bit of flexibility that being too explicit detracts from.

As far as I'm aware, Tatum didn't write out anything. There are, however, quite a few transcriptions out there, most of which are well done.

Cool! Thanks a bunch! I am definitely going to go with rewriting the rhythm "straight". This is something new I am trying. As far as I knew, there were not any transcriptions of this particular performance of Isn't it romantic by Art Tatum. This one seems more repetitive, and shorter performance, as well.

 ??? I usually find it very rewarding to work out transcriptions individually, without looking at other transcriptions. I also enjoy reworking them, as my rhythm becomes more accurate. Better luck next time, then!
