Use Legacy Chord input, if your tier of Sibelius supports that. Legacy will let you have exactly what you type, even if it's non-standard.

Which version/tier of Sibelius are you using? If it's either Sibelius or Sibelius|First you will not be able to do this.

Look at File-->Help to see the exact version and tier of your Sibelius installation.

In which case you'll have to enter non-standard chord types in Plain Text and adjust the font, font size and position to suit.

What notes are in the chord you're describing and does it resolve to a non-suspended chord? There may be a better way of spelling it that Sibelius will accept.
