Hi Annabelle,

Do you have a pitch wheel on the keyboard you are using? If so, try pressing 
record on Sonar then, just holding down say C5 and bending the note. Now go 
into event edit>
As you arrow down the numbers on the controllers may give you an idea of how 
they form the bend.

I've never done this myself as I rarely use pitch bend, however, I do step 
record and alter notes and controllers in the event menu quite a bit.

  I would put in the pitch bend commands manually, however, I don't know if 
there's a practical way to quantize just the pitch bend commands, for example, 
by 16th notes, or 32nd notes. Especially since I can't work in the piano roll 
view, without making a mess of the notes. I can only work easily in the Event 
List.

  Hi Annabelle,

  I would record pitch bend whilst playing, the controller commands will really 
start to get out of hand if you try to do it manually.

  Garritan Jazz is my only exception when using lots of controllers, I use a 
fair few to switch on and off doits, kisses, falls and occasional breathy notes 
on the trumpet.

    Hi, it's Annabelle.
    I was just now reading the part of the Sibelius Manual that tells about 
Pitch Bend commands, and I'm a little confused on one part. After I would enter 
the initial range, ~C100,0, ~C101,0, ~C6,2, ~C100,127, and ~C101,127, what 
would I enter for the ~B0 command for a quarter tone, a halfstep, and a whole 
step? Would it still be things like ~B0,32, ~B0,40, ~B0,64, ~B0,80, ~B0,96, and 
~B0,127? I'm confused!
