In the examples, there is a file (DRUMREF) where, within a staff, every note has a different instrument. How would I do this?

Having a different instrument for each note on a staff (which by default in NWC is equivalent to a MIDI channel) is unique to MIDI channel 10, which is reserved for percussion instruments. All the other 15 MIDI channels can play only a single instrument (patch) at a time, and the notes on that staff are different pitches over the range of that instrument. You can change what instrument a MIDI channel plays over the course of a piece, but you cannot have more than one instrument simultaneously on any MIDI channel.
