AFAIK, the ~ must be part of the Midi message:

Please see p 599 Sib 713 pdf ref man:

"Syntax

You can type MIDI messages into your score using any staff text style – typically Technique or Expression text. MIDI messages can be written on their own, or put at the end of any other text (such as “mute”).

Messages take the form: ~ followed by a single command letter, followed by one or more numbers, which are usually separated by commas.
E.g. ~C64,127
(~ is informally called a “swung dash” or “tilde,” but the technical term is twiddle.)"

Thanks Bob

As Bob says, the tilde is necessary to make the MIDI message work in Sib, but if you need to see it too, you could make a copy of the text string and delete the tilde.

You could also make sure View Tab>Invisibles>Hidden objects is checked..the midi message will be light grey, but visible.

Thanks Bob
