Sibelius Notatable with Cents?

Hi everyone,
I haven't even looked at the tuning e-mails for six
weeks or so, because of my need for some major
computer overhauling. But some day I still hope to get
going on composing a 53-equal oratorio. It's great to
see all these back-and-forth missives on notation
going on right now in our little tuning club.
I'm pretty sold on Sibelius for general notation, but
I'm wondering if anyone has succeeded in doing Johnny
Reinhard-style +/- "cents" notation using Sibelius?
The notational system Johnny advocates is the most
practical I've seen so far, and I successfully
(manually) notated a 19-equal piece for a couple
musicians in his ensemble several years ago for a
movement that appeared in my music drama From The
Realm Of The Shadow (now on Naxos Records,
8.559089-90, if you don't mind my little plug!).
Before I buy Sibelius, I just want to know if someone
has actually succeeded in using this program to create
"cents" notation.
Thanks,
Chris Mohr

***hi Chris!

Yes, there is nothing to this, since it's *very* easy to enter text
characters in Sibelius, and that's how you would enter the *cents*
symbols, something that I've done...

Dear Joseph,

Can you enter the text in Sibelius as note-attached expressions so
that the midi pitch bend is affected?

***No, unfortunately it doesn't do that. You have to enter the
cents text in, and then enter in *other* special text to achieve
pitch bends. But you, *can* get Sibelius to make pitch bends in
this way. Now as to *accuracy*, that is another matter. I don't
work that way, presently, myself...

I've experimented, and there seems to be no problem introducing
numbers into the score.
