Issue is caused by rounding errors: Sibelius generates a file where divisions is 256, eighth note in triplet has a duration of either 85 or 86. Converting to MuseScore internal units (480 tick / quarter note) leads to triplets eighths taking 159 or 161 ticks. This confuses the MusicXML importer, causing notes actually starting at the same time to end up shifted in MuseScore.
