G'day seskanda,
NWC doesn't have up&down-bow symbols internally, BUT if you download the Boxmafk2 font from http://nwc-scriptorium.org/ftp/helpful/boxmark2.zip and install it as a user font, you can place the markings as text.

Use lower case t and u for up and down respectively.

G'day seskanda,
the diamond is there - use an underscore.  Better still, if you get a copy of "Typecase", it makes life very easy when selecting characters - far better  that the MS "charmap"

For microtonal music, Ertugrul is the guru - you can probably contact him via the newsgroup - assuming you've signed up.

You might also check the scripto...

G'day seskanda,
the boxmark font is used as text.  You cannot access the characters except by adding the font as a user font in page setup, then placing text entries using the user font you selected.

To place text, position the cursor where you want the text to be located, press <x> and follow the dialogue box...

There is a very good command reference here: http://nwc-scriptorium.org/command.html on the scripto.

It is well worth the read.

G'day seskanda,
i was using it as text all along

You stated in an earlier post that using the underscore gave you a tenuto - this indicates you weren't inputting text at the time.

i have to re-load Boxmarks in NWC EVERY time i restart my computer

Actually, fonts are specified in song files, not in NWC the program.  If you want to have Boxmarks load automatically, either create or modify the template you use to create your new files to include Boxmarks as a user font.

that link to signup to the newsgroup is dead

Works for me - do you have a proxy or firewall between you and the internet that is blocking port 443 [https]?
