To avoid this notation (http://jpquelen.free.fr/nwc2/img1.gif) some music editors use this (http://jpquelen.free.fr/nwc2/img4.gif). It is more easy to read. But with NWC2 it is only possible to write (http://jpquelen.free.fr/nwc2/img3.gif) (hide notes : (http://jpquelen.free.fr/nwc2/img2.gif)).
If the authors of the software could add a command of "special white notehead" at the toolsbar (http://jpquelen.free.fr/nwc2/img5.gif) ((http://, for example http://jpquelen.free.fr/nwc2/img6.gif)), it will solve this problem. (excuse me for my english but I am French.)
G'day jpg,
cool idea. You could use no note head and then place a text head from the system font (NWC2STDA).
Configure a user font to use the system font at about 125% of the staff size (this seems to be necessary to get the size right) and then place a "j" which corresponds to the the minim (half) note head.
It should be placed centred at next note/bar. Vertical positioning isn't perfect but you can get it "near enough for jazz" :)
Building on Lawrie's idea:

It doesn't look right in the editor, but seems ok in print preview (on my screen).
