You're welcome:)
The original reply I edited seems to be for pre Sib 7.5 with the following advice, thanks to Martin P. Kellogg:
"If you want swing in some staves and straight in others, you can use Live Playback. Select the notes you want to play straight, and check "live start position" in playback properties. Live Playback needs to be enabled, of course.You don't have to enter any numeric information"
However in Sib 7.5 it seems that

p8
"Sibelius 7.5 includes following new Playback Dictionary features:
The System Text page of Play > Interpretation > Dictionary now allows you complete control over the effect of each of Sibelius’s built-in rhythmic feels (for swing, notes inègales, waltzes etc.),
and to design your own from scratch. Rhythmic feels entered in system text apply to all the instruments in the system.
The same controls are also now found on the Staff Text
page, allowing you to define rhythmic feels that apply only to individual staves, for example, to a soloist’s staff, or to the percussion staff.
A staff-attached rhythmic feel entered in staff text (such as Technique text) will take precedence
over a system-wide rhythmic feel entered in system text (such as Tempo text)
Also pls see :

"As before, the overall performance style can be set in Play > Interpretation > Performance. Digging deeper, though, one finds detailed options in the Effect Values section of Play > Interpretation > Dictionary, such as options in System Text to adjust a particular beat subdivision (i.e., eighth notes for swing; quarter notes for waltzes) or what to do with smaller note divisions (i.e., make them double-time, like in a hard-swinging style). You can adjust the proportions and dynamic emphasis of the subdivisions, allowing subtle control over how notes are emphasized within a groove.
Moreover, all of these options are available in the Staff Text tab of this same dialog — which means that, yes, these features are available on a per-instrument basis, allowing for some sophisticated combinations of instruments. One of these options is the ability to shift all notes ahead or behind the beat by a certain amount. This can be used, for instance, to have a drummer play “on top” of the beat (the default word in Sibelius is “ahead,” but you can customize the Dictionary however you like). Simply add the desired word as Technique text for that particular staff, the same way you might add “pizz.” or “mute”:
