Meaning of Denemo was :Re: [Denemo-devel] Logo Experiments

[Jeremiah Benham]

Denemo is a corruption of the French word denouement. 

>From Wikipedia:

In literature, a dénouement (IPA:/deˈnuːmɑ̃/) consists of a series of
events that follow the climax of a drama or narrative, and thus serves
as the conclusion of the story.

I read once something from Matt Hiller once saying that many commercial
notation editors have a word that means something that comes at then end
like encore, finale etc ...  So he named it after the word dénouement.

Sorry but the only reference I could find was this on the old sorceforge
