I have put it on the forum, and the answers I've gotten are a little
confusing to me, as each person who has answered had a different point of
view, and all those different answers meshed together brought about a lot of
confusion for me.

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.

Hi, it's Annabelle.
How would I notate a staccato crash cymbal? Would it be the same as just
notating a regular crash cymbal, but putting a Staccato mark on the note? Is
that
the one they call a choke cymbal? I'm confused! I notated the note with a
staccato mark, and it didn't change anything. It just played as though it
were a note without staccato. I've even tried a shorter note, and that
didn't work either. What do I do next? In Sonar and Garritan Jazz And Big
Band, I've put the keyswitch A0 (Is that the right one?), in the same space
as the note of the crash cymbal, but that only made it a silent note. Is
there something I'm forgetting?
