Hello everyone, how do I overlay the quarter note with the eighth?

Use the Inspector: select the dotted quarter note, Right click > Inspector (or Ctrl + Shift + I), put a negative value in the X box (e.g. -1.5), adjust finely using the Up and Down arrows.

I'm not completely sure, but I think Sibelius is putting this note in properly. It is misaligned because of the dot, if the notes were to align then it could create ambiguity as it may appear to be a dotted eighth note in voice two.
