Hello Graham,

        I've been curious about this too as I have been transcribing a lot of
bebop melodies lately.  I just did some poking around, found the answer
in the Sibelius hotkeys file included with sibelius speaking.  (Note, the
information about inputting symbols in the sibelius help file seems to be
inaccurate, at least with respect to the designated short-cut.)

Select the note in question and press F10.  This pulls up a dialogue in
which you can select various symbols including mordents, turns, and
inverted turns.  Each symbol is described so that it is clear you are
getting what you want.  The turns don't seem to be realized in the
Sibelius playback, but you can tab to them in the score to  confirm that
they are there.

I hope this helps,

Bill S.
