70: Flexi-time - recording multiple voices on the same staff
In Sibelius 3 and above: you can record into multiple voices simultaneously using Flexitime. The default option in the Notes > Flexi-time Options in the Voices section is to 'Record into Multiple voices', however you can untick this option and just pick a single voice if you need to. See Flexi-time in your Sibelius User Guide for further information.
In Sibelius 2: you can only record into a single voice at once using Flexi-time. You can choose which voice to record into, either by selecting a note/rest or other object in the voice you want to record before you start. Alternatively, you can choose the voice for recording from the Notes > Flexi-time Options dialog. See Flexi-time in your Sibelius 2 User Guide for further information.
In Sibelius 1.x: to record more than one voice onto a staff using Flexi-time, work from the bottom up. Enter the notes that will constitute voice 2 first, and when you are finished recording, triple-click the staff, type Shift-Command-V or Ctrl+Shift+V to swap everything to voice 2, then record again.
