Yep, swing please

[@NiamorH]

is there a standard notation to know which triplets notes should be omited or not?

[@arbitersofsound]

It would usually be shown with a rest in place of the note inside the triplet marking. If you're constantly omitting the same note (like in our example or e.g. Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears for Fears), then you start getting in the territory of swung regular notes, so you'll have to wait for the swing video ;) But generally swing is notated with regular notes and a pretty loose marking at the start of the score saying that the notes should be swung haha
