Sibelius parts

Hi folks...
I am newbie at Sibelius and getting it to do simple things is proving a bit frustrating.

How do I get polyrhythmic parts into a right hand piano staff? For instance, if I want a whole note chord held with a melodic line over it? Sibelius only wants to let me have chords moving together, and tying everything is somehow inelegant.

Thank you for your time!

You have to use different voices for that. To add the bottom voice (the held notes, stems down), click '2' on the bottom of the Keypad toolbox, then select your notes and add them in. Then click back to '1' and add your top voice. Voice 1 stems all go up, voice 2 goes down, 3 up, 4 down, etc.

Ah, I see. Thank you so much! I was beginning to think nobody could help me.
