Is there a way to swing 16/th notes?

*Not* dotted 8ths followed by 16ths, which has been addressed in previous threads.

I mean any succession of 16th notes. I am transcribing Jelly Roll Morton's "Creepy Feelings". That music stems from ragtime and should be presented in 2/4 time, eight 16ths to a bar. He swung those notes. If there is a way to make Sibelius play it thus, I don't know it. Is there?

I know I could force the issue by doubling all notes values, but that would be for playback only, not anything else. I would really like to have my score present the music as it would sound. This project is a collaboration with another musician. It's not a make or break issue, but if there is a way...
