8th notes written between bass and treble clef of a piano score

I'm trying to type out a piano score just the way it is written and I came across those type of 8th notes where one note is written in the bass clef and the other is written in the treble clef and they are tied together across the gap between the staves (so the dark band conecting the notes crosses between the bass and treble clef).  How do you replicate this on Noteworthy?

You can't, directly. NWC treats each staff independently.

Depending on your arrangement, you can try placing a duplicate note on both staves, so that they visibly overlap when printed. Tie/slur to the note on the same staff as its partner, then let the overlapped note take over from there.

If that doesn't work for you, try using the NWslurs font, available on the Scriptorium (helpful files). You can place various slurs as text items, anywhere you wish. The trick is getting them to align with the notes, so be sure to look at print preview.

NWC2 (not NWC1.75) allows a way to hide note heads and shorten stems, which provides additional possibilities.
