For example:

-One way search
-calendar of fares
-SFO-SIN
-one connection in NRT
-UA from SFO-NRT, force fare class of W
-NH from NRT-SIN, force fare class of K

I know this code:

ua nrt nh sin / f bc=w|bc=k

will search either W or K for both the UA and NH flights. The result may be W for both UA and NH flights, or K for both, or a combo that I cannot control. But what if I want to specify, for instance, W only for the UA flight and K only for the NH flight?

I know the multi-city search can be used to specify fare class for each individual flight, but then you must use specific dates, making a search over multiple dates nearly impossible or extremely time consuming, as far as I know.

TIA
There is no way to do this on matrix without also forcing a fare breakpoint at NRT (i.e. using two separate fares for SFO-NRT and NRT-SIN, roughly as if you had bought two tickets). I don't know if it's possible to do what you're asking for with a single fare, but if it is, it would likely be a lot cheaper that way.
