This often can be found at scores of piano reduction to an orchestra ...
I have two 32th notes which keep repeating for 2 quarters.
now, instead of writing them meny times I want to be able to write them just once, with 3 beams attached between them and they will be hollow like each of them was a HALF note.
this is how it is done in professional scores.
now, How can I do that ?
THANKS

Ora Itai, I believe you are asking for something called "comping slashes." Maybe another user can provide better information than I can provide.
If you wish to show notes with 3 beams, just exactly like ordinary 1/32 beamed notes, but with hollow note-heads, that cannot be done in NWC1.75.
But it is possible to place 2 ordinary half-notes, with hollow heads and no beams. You can look in the user fonts (Scriptorium) for a set of small slashes. These can be placed as a text item, across the stem of each note. The result will be two disconnected notes, each with hollow head and 3 slashes across its stem. The notes will play as half notes in MIDI, however.
I don't think he's looking for comping slashes, which are much easier to solve.
It seems to me that he wants to represent the following:
In a measure of two-four time (for example), there are two half notes (yes, that's what I wrote - two half notes in a measure of two-four time) connected by a beam (What? Are you nuts? Half notes connected by a beam?) with two incomplete beams added. The result should look like two thirty-second notes that "got all broke up." It is referred to as a tremolo, and the notation he asks for is legitimate.
I have been able to reproduce the effect in NWC using text items, but I fear a written explanation may be more difficult than the notational solution. [If I could do a face-to-face, let-me-show-you-how kinda thing, it would be much simpler...]
I'm hoping that NWC v1.8 or 1.9 will have this capability, because it is a chore to do this - it took me a few days to figure out how.
C. S. thanks,
but what you offer will cause Note Worthy to give those two combined the time length of a whole ( 4 quarters) and I want them together to span for only 2 quarters.

With version 2.1 this is easily achieved with layering and restchords:

The only downside is that the beams reach the stems. Strictly speaking the beams should be short of the stems, but I can live with this. If required some creative "digital whiteout" could be applied
To get the second restchord half note to line up visually on the proper beat with the staffs of other instruments, you need 3 staffs. Staff 1 muted with the restchord half notes followed by non-visible rests (perhaps one doble dotted 1/8 rest), and layered to that a muted staff 2, with the beamed 1/32 notes, each followed by the same non-visible rests. Then a hidden staff 3 that plays the notes.
Gennaro,
Lawrie's method does exactly as it should, provided that you click on "Viewer mode". You are quite correct about needing a third hidden staff if you only wish to show Edit Mode.
Cheers,
Bill
I think that look, alignment and sound can be done on two staves, but perhaps I am missing something.
The rarer triplet tremolo needs the 3 moved. Someday NWC will realize that it gets centered on the visible beam. How hard can that be to implement?
