For playback: Select trill, goto Inspector/Playback. Under Trill, kill Diatonic and set to 1 half step.
For visual: Place a flat above the trill line. You can do this in Technique, type Ctrl/9 (on num-pad).
Alternatively you can attach a Bb grace note and drag to the right of the main note. (see below)

Again, pls see the above referenced article:

"Sibelius 7 and Sibelius 6 don’t have these combined symbols by default, so one common approach is to input the regular trill line that comes with SIbelius, and then add a flat, natural or sharp symbol from the symbols dialog. The problem with this approach is that the symbol tends to drift away from the trill line when the music is respaced, or you view it in a transposed part."

The article also contains a downloadable file that has these lines already created for you:

"Fortunately, it’s very straightforward to build each of these as a fixed, combined symbol and use each of these new trill characters to create new trill lines.

If you are in a hurry, there is an even easier way. Simply open the Sibelius 6 file I’ve linked to here, select one of the trill lines (making sure that only the trill line is selected), copy it to the clipboard (CTRL-C / WIndows or CMND-C / Mac), and then paste it into your own Template document.

For correct playback in Sibelius 7, select the line after you’ve placed it in the score, go to the Home Tab and select the Inspector. Go to the Playback Section of the Inspector.

For correct playback in Sibelius 6, select the line after you’ve placed it in the score, open the Properties Panel and choose the Playback dropdown.

For both Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7, uncheck diatonic trill, and make sure the interval is set to one half step."

Thanks Bob
