If you watch the video on the Sibelius site directed at Finale users, when changing from rhythm-before-pitch to pitch-before-rhythm, the note entry palette changes to the same values we are used to in Speedy.
Sibelius have really gone to a lot of trouble to accommodate other ways of working. I will be thanking them for their efforts by using it. There is a place for us Speedy refugees now it seems.
