Beaming

In NWC, is it possible to have, for example, eight sixteenth notes (stem up) beamed with the top beam across all eight notes, and the lower beam stopping between notes 4 and 5? If not, is there a hack to do it?

Yup.  There is an available note property called "Beam group start".  Select the 5th 16th note, press <Alt+Enter> to access the property dialogue, and tick the "Beam group start" check box.

I should mention that beam groups is one of the new features added in the latest version (2.75a). You can see a history of program changes and additions here.
