A few observations on this.

notes.
I'm assuming that "dotted-quarter-eighth" means a dotted quarter note
followed by an eighth note. If this is so, then this is not a triplet rhythm
as David points out. This is in fact just called a dotted rhythm and is
identified by the fact that the first note is three times as long as the
first note. I.E. a dotted quarter note is three eighth notes.
This rhythm is sometimes "swung" as triplets in Baroque music but this is
clearly not an example of early music so the modern rules apply.
Also, dotted-quarter-eighth is the same as dotted-eighth-sixteenth only with
double the note lengths. In other words, the relationships between the notes
are identical so this doesn't help us identify what the feel of the rhythm
is.
As Dail says, in jazz and pop, triplet rhythms are often written as straight
eighth notes and the word "swung" is written above the first eighth note in
the triplet like passage. The word "straight" is then written above the
first eighth note in which even durations are played again.
If live playback is turned on, Sibelius should interpret these terms and
play the music accordingly.

Annabelle,
I think what you might want can be achieved using the word "swing"
s-w-I-n-g in the tempo edit field when you are setting up your score. Be
sure to capitalize the first letter of that word, and Sibelius will play
back regular eighth notes (two per beat in 4/4, as an example) as though the
rhythm was an eighth-note triplet with a quarter on the first two thirds and
another eighth note to finish the triplet feel. Try it by writing a C major
scale ascending just over an octave to D, and descending back to C. Play it,
and see if that's the feel you want.
Dale

Hi, it's Annabelle.
It seems I'm having a bit of trouble with writing triplets. I'm working on a
song that I wrote, "Tante Lucy", which has sort of a reggae beat to it, kind
of like the rhythmic feel of Bob Marley's tune, "Is This Love".
Would you consider that reggae? Or is that more like jazz? From what I
understand, the main rhythm of "Is This Love" has triplets. However, I'm not
exactly sure which kind of triplets they are, whether they're
dotted-quarter-eighth notes, or dotted-eighth-sixteenth notes. It sort of
has this "Bouncy bouncy bouncy bouncy" beat, like dribbling a basketball.
How would I write this kind of "bouncing ball" reggae beat?
