Is it posssible to place up and down stems on a note to indicate that the note is to be sung by both voices on a staff (ie Tenor and Bass when written on 1 staff)?
I am having exactly the same problem and was forced to consume more paper by creating separate SATB parts and well as the accompanyment. This means 4 staves plus the Grand Upper and Lower staff equalling six in all.
The other situations that are problematic are occasions when I need to split parts for a few bars (for clarity) and then return to SATB. For example, on occasions where there are two Sop. and two Bass parts. As NWC now is, this means 2+1+1+2+2=10 staves!
NWC Support: how about adding this feature to the next version of NWC?
This is not yet possible. The exact rules regarding chords are listed in the help file section for Chord Members (under the Insert command help).
I hope this helps.

In the demo version of NWC that I got off the net before I purchased it, it was possible to have an up and a down stem on the same note, with different note value. I even had composed some scores with that property.
When I bought the product (I think it was NWC12), that feature disappeared and I couldn't do that anymore.
It was a disappointment. Sometimes you need it.
