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

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.

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.

Do you mean separate PDFs?
