Try writing the word "choke" without the quotation marks at the point where the
cymbal plays. If you have a choked cymbal in your Sibelius playback
dictionary, that will be the way to get the sound you want. You might consider
putting this question up on the general Sibelius.com discussion forum.
Identify yourself as a blind person, explain which libraries you have and what
you're trying to do.
