Whenever I make a guitar bend with in the Tab it never displays the right. The note head lines indicating the rhythm are also grayed out, as I have circled in red. Is there a way to make them display?

This is an example of how bends should look:

Try this from the manual:

"Some of the tab markings involve hidden notes on the tab staff, which can be viewed and edited
when View > Invisibles > Hidden Objects (shortcut Shift+Alt+H or xzH) is switched on."

There's lots of other good stuff on bends there also.

Yeah, I read through most of the manual and nothing was helpful. What I need is for those "Hidden Objects" to become not hidden. Just being able to view them in Sibelius is not going to work, I need to be able to print them as well.

I noticed that the examples in the manual used both notation and tab. Maybe that's the only way Sibelius works. As an experiment, try it and see. May not be quite what you want, though.
