I am currently notating some string harmonics on Sibelius (2020.9), and am using the "Harmonics playback" plugin to hear the natural harmonics at their actual pitch.

I've notated this with a normal (type 0) notehead at A above middle C, and a diamond (type 2) notehead at E a 5th above. When I apply the plugin, the harmonic sounds at the correct pitch (the E an octave above), however it will not hold the pitch for the duration of the note value. No matter which note value I choose (minim, semibreve etc.) it will only sound for a crotchet's duration.

Does anybody know of a fix for this?
