Sibelius notes

Hey guys,

I figured out how to do triplets and more "advanced" stuff, but I just cannot get Sibelius to not join notes when I don't want him to

As far as I understand, it seems to automatically join successive 8th, 16th, etc, notes together. But what if I want to write the first 8th note seperated from the second? ...because my problem is Sibelius will automatically join them!

I guess more generally speaking, I would just like to know how to determine notes which are joint and notes which aren't.

I recently discovered how to do this, and now do it all the time. even when it's probably not necessary

Select the note/s you want to edit. Then, on the keypad box thing, select the 3rd layout along (in between the rest and the pause...it looks like a joined semi-quaver tail). From there you can edit which ways that note's tail goes.
