Is this possible?

Sibelius beginners can discuss all things Sibelius here ("how do I...?").

Hi,
I can most things I need to in Sibelius but this one has me stumped and I don't even know if it's possible! Basically, I'd like to be able to create boxes with two letters and two notes in (as per the attached picture). Does anyone if I am able to do this and if so how?
Thanks so much!

The best way to do it would be to use an external graphics or publishing program, get it saved as an svg and import it into Sibelius.

Hi Mike, thanks for the reply. I did think this would be the answer, but it's always worth checking things first! Thanks so much for taking the time to answer me.

Ok, I lied!

Your question intrigued me. Does the following file help?

It's in Sib 7 format. If you need it earlier, just let me know.
