So I have a piano piece I'm working on and both staves are in treble clef but I'd like to have some sustained notes ring out in around the lowest range of the piano. I haven't quite figured out how to accomplish this. I didn't want to add some crazy amount of ledger lines so my first thought was to use the 15vb line. I added the sustained notes as a second voice and put the line underneath but, as I thought my happen, when it plays back the whole staff gets lowered instead of just that voice. I then looked for other symbols that might work on single notes but couldn't find anything. I also looked at some other music that uses a wide range like this at points and found a John Adams score where he writes in a treble
and bass clef on the bottom staff. Alas, I couldn't figure out a way to do this in Sibelius.
With all this in mind, does anyone have a clue how I could accomplish this in Sibelius? Is there some notation that I'm not aware of? Does the 15vb idea work but Sibelius doesn't play it back right? I'm at a loss after searching the manual and the internet. Here's a print out of where I'm stuck (last measure):
