On Note Placement, Play Harmonic Notes on All Staves

When a note is placed on a staff in Sibelius, all harmonic notes from the same staff are played. Is there a way to get all of the harmonic notes from all staves to play when a note is placed?

I compose mostly for Piano, and I'd like to hear what's on the treble and bass staves at the same time.

Thanks

In a word, no.

You can set so all of the notes in the chord in that staff sound at the same time (File->Preferences->Note Input) or you can do it by double-clicking a note in the chord but not in multiple staves.

Not ideal, but you could hit "P" after placing a note. Then "space bar" to stop playback.
