Cross staff beaming is created automatically by LilyPond when you cause a voice to change staff, so the command you want is: Staffs/Voices->Change Staff > > 2.

You have to set your preference for a Image Viewer program to something you have in your path to view the png with. The message is misleading - as the help for the command says Command: Export Selection as PNG Displays a musical excerpt in your image viewer Location: Main Menu ▶ File ▶ Export As Internal Name: PrintExcerptPreview so you have to have the Image Viewer in Edit->Change Preferences- >Externals=>Image Viewer set to some program actually installed on your system. > > 3. Is it possible to create feathered beams as > in http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/beams#feather > ed-beams? Maybe with a custom command? yes, I just tried it. I put in some 1/16th notes and then chose Directives->Insert LilyPond and pasted an example from the section you mentioned \override Beam.grow-direction = #LEFT \featherDurations #(ly:make-moment 2/1) (well, this is LilyPond 2.18 docs actually) and it feathered the following beam. You could then take that Denemo Directive and 1) create a snippet from it, or 2) create a palette button that inserts it or 3) create a command that inserts it. for 1) see View->Snippets for 2) right click on the directive and choose "Create Button for Clone" for 3), well having created a palette button you could right click the palette button and choose "Get Script into Scheme Window" and then at a suitable point in the Beams menu right click and choose "Save Script as New Menu Item" and follow the prompts to create a new command that inserts that Denemo Directive. > > 4.
