The problem is that the dotted half note is superimposed on the quarter note on the bottom graphical example. This make the half note shape look like a quarter note, and the quarter note look like it has an augmentation dot. But the problem is not in the verovio notation but rather in the Sibelius notation. But this will not matter because the MusicXML data and the translation in the Humdrum/MEI/verovio is correct.

There is a difference in the ordering of the accidentals. I will have to figure out which order they should go in.

Verovio is putting the natural for the up-stem note first and then the sharp for the downstream note. Sibelius is doing the opposite.
