If I understood your question correctly I would notate that cord with grais notes considering that you want to lend on the beat. There is a section about that in the sibelius speaking tutorial that I found very helpful.

I['m not using the right term but let's say I have a chord I want to role like d-a-f-sharp in the left hand. How would I do that and still have it land on beat what ever? also what if I wanted to continue it in to the right hand d-a-f-sharp right hand a-d-f-sharp? This is using Sibelius btw. I want it to look right to to who ever will be playing it which would not be me. *grins.* Sarah Alawami MsN: chellist@xxxxxxxxxxx skype: marrie1 Website; www.marrie.org To check out my podcast go to http://feeds.feedburner.com/funfilled For information on the list where you can discuss the podcast check out http://tffp.marrie.org/mailman/listinfo/tffpdiscussionlist_tffp.marrie.org "If it's tourist season, why can't we shoot them?"
