Denemo is a free software graphical interface for music notation, mainly to GNU LilyPond, a program for engraving musical scores.[1] Denemo has been under development since 1999.[2] Using GTK+ 2.0, it works on Linux and Microsoft Windows.
Denemo helps prepare notation for publishing and lets a user rapidly enter notation for typesetting via the GNU LilyPond music engraver. Music can be typed in using a PC keyboard, taken from MIDI input, or played into a microphone plugged into a soundcard. Denemo itself does not engrave the music - it functions as a GUI for LilyPond. Denemo only displays the music so a user can enter and edit it efficiently. This program includes scripts to run music tests and practice exercises for educational purposes. This program plays back via an Internal Sampler and can act as a JACK/MIDI client.
Denemo can output entire scores and excerpts in a number of formats, including:
Denemo has all the music notation functions accessible via keyboard shortcuts. However, everything can be accessed by mouse, and both mouse and keyboard shortcuts can be defined using menu items that invoke functions. A Scheme scripting interface is also available, and commands written in Scheme can be placed in the menu system.
