In choral music, when notating rhythm (snaps, claps, etc.) using rhythm noteheads on a staff that also includes melody, is there any way to get the noteheads to play back as an unpitched rhythm instrument? When the entire score plays back with all the parts together, the pitches of the rhythm notation are causing trouble.

There can only be one voice per staff. For playback you'll need to create a second score with the effects noteheads on their own line. It's not unusual to have two scores. One you hand to musicians, and one to get Sibelius to playback like you want.
