I want to be able to put the pause symbol above a note. I have found this symbol in the character map and copied it to the clipboard but I cannot find a way to paste this into the music.
You don't need to use external symbols for pauses, as NWC has it already. What you want to do is insert JUST BEFORE the note concerned a tEmpo variation called Fermata. Looking up Fermata in help will probably yield some info for you too.
