Well that is a question for the music engraver, LilyPond; Denemo is not 
doing anything special here.
I haven't got access at the moment to examples, but it is unlikely to 
be a bug.

No liberty, LilyPond engraves to a particular standard, which says 
various things about time signatures. multimeaasure rests and more. To 
deviate from that standard you need to issue a request to use some other 
standard. Denemo provides the one you mention (numeric time-signatures) 
in the time-signature menu.

What made you think a liberty had been taken is that Denemo's display 
is so crude, it just displays what you typed in, rather than considering 
the typesetting standard that LilyPond is set to by default. Eventually, 
perhaps, someone will tweak the display - there is no real reason I'm 
sure why Denemo dumps hairpin crescendos above the staff instead of 
below, for example.
