I am transcribing two-voice melodies (from Timor-Leste) where the lower voice holds a moving drone. Sometimes the drone is articulated together with a new syllable in the melody, but often it is sustained through many syllables. I would like to simply mark the beginning of drone pitch--say, with a whole note--and give it a hanging tie (with no specific end point), and then mark the next point of articulation. Thus the notated rhythmic values of the lower voice (on its own staff) would not match the rhythmic values of the melody. Will Sibelius allow this?
