This is easy to accomplish using the new V1.70. The final beta is, I believe, still available from

One example that uses this is "A Song About Frogs" on the NWC Scriptorium (http://nwc-scriptorium.org/).

The file itself can be directly downloaded from

Thank you for comments given to the question.

Unfortunately,I cannot find a way. I would like to write a staff include only chord name and rythms marking(only beam showing quarter ,eighth,sometime it include rest).

Currently I use whole rest and chord name and include rythms mark by handwriting.

Could you give me more detailed explanation ?

Does your melody line consist of rhythm markers and standard rests? If so, write your music entirely with rests. Hide the rests you want replaced with markers, then insert the markers as text. Use the text alignment options (align center, over note head) to make sure the text goes on top of the hidden rest.

Currently NWC can't hide noteheads. It would be very nice if it could print beams and stems without noteheads.
