Rolls for notes...

I've been trying to place some of my choral music from my Community choir onto NWC and i've come across a song that has a "roll" next to a chord.
(I'm not sure if "roll" is the correct musical term, but it looks like a long squiggly line going vertical).
Does anyone know if NWC has this feature to place this into the selection? If so, can someone tell me how to do it? Thank you all for your time and cooperation.

What you see is a fast arpeggio.
The chord notes are sounded one after the other.
There is a symbol for it in the Boxmarks font - download from the Scriptorium - the address can be found on this site.

You can get the Boxmarks font at the NWC Scriptorium.

This will make you score look right. There are several ways to make it sound right. The simplest is to place grace notes in sequence before the chord. Each grace note should be tied. If this does not sound right, you may have to use regular notes on a hidden playback track.
