Here is the code I am using. I choose Symbolize from the Notation palette, and it works well when I use only one variable, but not with a list.
<< Utilities`Notation`
\!\(\*
RowBox[{''Symbolize'', ''['',
TagBox[\(\(w\_1\)\&^\),
NotationBoxTag,
TagStyle->''NotationTemplateStyle''], '']''}]\)
\!\(\*
RowBox[{''Symbolize'', ''['',
TagBox[\(\(w\_2\)\&^\),
NotationBoxTag,
TagStyle->''NotationTemplateStyle''], '']''}]\)
\!\(\*
RowBox[{''Symbolize'', ''['',
TagBox[\(\(w\_1\)\&^\^\[Prime]\),
NotationBoxTag,
TagStyle->''NotationTemplateStyle''], '']''}]\)
(*When I try a list, I obtain the following error messages*)
\!\(Symbolize[NotationBoxTag[{\[Pi]\_L1, \[Pi]\_L2}]]\)
\!\(List::''string'' \(\(:\)\(\ \)\)
''String expected at position \!\(1\) in \!\({\[Pi]\_L1, \[Pi]\_\({True, \
True}\)}\).''\)
\!\(List::''string'' \(\(:\)\(\ \)\)
''String expected at position \!\(2\) in \!\({\[Pi]\_L1, \[Pi]\_\({True, \
True}\)}\).''\)
\!\(StringJoin::''string'' \(\(:\)\(\ \)\)
''String expected at position \!\(1\) in \!\(\[Pi]\_L1 <> \[Pi]\_\({True, \
True}\)\).''\)
\!\(StringJoin::''string'' \(\(:\)\(\ \)\)
''String expected at position \!\(2\) in \!\(\[Pi]\_L1 <> \[Pi]\_\({True, \
True}\)\).''\)
\!\(Names::''string'' \(\(:\)\(\ \)\)
''String expected at position \!\(1\) in \!\(Names[\(\(\(\(\[LeftSkeleton] \
57 \[RightSkeleton]\)\)[\(\(\[Pi]\_L1 <> \[Pi]\_\({True, \
True}\)\)\)]\)\)]\).''\)
(*Finally, am I correct that it will still symbolize each of the following, and that the message is merely a warning*)
\!\(\*
RowBox[{''Symbolize'', ''['',
TagBox[\(\[Pi]\_H2\),
NotationBoxTag,
TagStyle->''NotationTemplateStyle''], '']''}]\)
\!\(\*
RowBox[{''Symbolize'', ''['',
TagBox[\(\[Pi]\_L2\),
NotationBoxTag,
TagStyle->''NotationTemplateStyle''], '']''}]\)
\!\(General::''spell1'' \(\(:\)\(\ \)\)
''Possible spelling error: new symbol name \
\''\!\(\[Pi]\[UnderBracket]Subscript\[UnderBracket]L2\)\'' is similar to \
existing symbol \''\!\(\[Pi]\_H2\)\''.''\)
Thanks,
Randy
