I've found a partial solution for getting turns and mordents to be
realised in playback. Instead of entering turns with f10, press
alt+u to go to plugins, press enter on playback and then select ornament
playback. You can only see the mordent/turn option with
tab/shift tab, but if you left and right arrow, you can select whether to
include the symbol, whether the turn/mordent is
chromatic, ETC. The source code for the plugin is found in
ornamentPlayback.plg, under the main sebelius 3 program folder under
plugins/playback. I haven't figured out how to make the check boxes visible
with jaws when using tab/shift tab.
I've also found that you can change the name or location of the plugin to make
it easier to access in the menus. I copied it to the
main plugins folder of the sibelius program folder so I wouldn't have to enter
the playback menu to access it. The plugin appears to
play turns and mordents correctly, but does not allow the sharpening or
flattening of individual notes in the turn. The conventional
turn symbol with a sharp attached seems to be the only thing that works in this
case.

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.
