I'm a Sibelius user, I've subscribed to this list for curiosity about Finale. In House Style > Engraving Rules... > Beams and Stems there are options to change beam angles, screen shot attached for Sibelius 4, there have been no changes to this section in Sibelius 5. Without a plug-in, your best bet would be to adjust the values until they're as close as possible to Henle's. A Sibelius plug-in is able to change stem length (hence beam angle), stem length can be expressed as an offset from the default length, but the absolute stem length is not exposed to ManuScript (Sibelius' plug-in language). All I know about Henle's beams is that they rarely slant more than a space and minimise the occurrences of staff lines between beams.. If given rules about how Henle style beams are calculated and if Sibelius' beam angle algorithm is deduced, it would be possible to write a plug-in to apply Henle style beams. The task would be easier if absolute stem lengths can be determined, but that is not possible at the moment.
