I am having difficulty notating artificial harmonics - how do you stem the note and diamond notehead together, but without having them the same duration?
Thanks

What version of Sib are you on? The method may vary according to this.

You can use the plugin String Harmonics or, if you have NotePerformer, you can just add the diamond notehead ([shift][alt]2) a 4th (or whatever) above the notes - Select the notes, press 2 (top row of keyboard), press [shift][alt]2.

If you are on a mac substitute [opt] for [alt].
