I'm trying to input a tab bend but I'm having some problems. I'm using Sibelius 6.

So for example, I want to bend an A note (10th fret second string) up to a B (12th fret second string).

So I input 10 on the second line of the tab staff and press "J". The bend arrow is drawn above the 10 and then I input the number 12 on the second line of tab. The arrow then "snaps" over the 12 (B note). So far so good but the problem emerges during playback.

During playback the note is bent (from the 10th fret) but is also automatically sounded/plucked once it reaches pitch on the 12th fret, i.e., once the full step bend has reached full pitch. Is this normal to have the extra "note" during playback? Can it be eliminated?

Thanks.
