These are the verbs: create, decorate, [using], choose, attach, leave, float, use, can, set, leave, select. They're all spelt right, and if you prefer AmE they're all spelled right too.

My suspicion is which one of the following pairs is idiomatically correct?

1a.Leave them to float.
1b. Leave them floating.
2a. Leave the guest of honor to select the music.
2b. Leave the guest of honor selecting the music.

Mind you: a gerund, in one sense, is also a verb, so do the present and past participles.
