Piano notation: how to do this in Sibelius?

[Mandarin Man]

I want to notate these figures (common in piano notation) using Sibelius:

Can anyone tell me how to do this?

If you use multiple voices the different voices are automatically seperated horizontally..

I'm not at a computer with Sibelius, so I can't try it.... But I believe if you use 2 voices and hide the eighth note head it will work out.

Thanks dvincent. Actually, I found out that when the second voice is the same note and note length as the first voice, they automatically share a notehead.. Turns out it's quite simple.

But what about the examples on the top stave? Still haven't found out how to pull that off..

That's it! Thanks for helping me out, Jon.

And I hold anyone who quotes Michael Kamen in high regard :). He is still sorely missed.

Didn't think I would take you up on that so soon, but what do you know :).

How do you do this?

Can't seem te get the beam extended back to include the half note..

Great! Take your time!

[Mandarin Man]

Got it, Jon! This has been of much help to me. Much obliged. )(~

BTW, what's your background? A fellow composer, I presume?
