I checked again, and this is incorrect. In Sibelius, when the caret is present, pressing the duration key will always set the duration for the next note to be entered and not affect the currently selected (last entered) note. It will not change the duration of the last note you entered. If you want to change the last entered note, you DO have to arrow back to the note, which removes the caret, press the duration key, then arrow forward to get the caret back. In Finale this is not necessary, as you can use a shortcut to change the duration of the last entered note even though the caret is present and you haven't backtracked.
