Well, for note entry, especially note entry as a musical activity rather
than tedious data entry activity, I don't think Denemo can be beaten.
What I think it could also offer for LilyPond users is a way of filing
away the tweaks that are needed for more complex scores, so that they
only need to be brought back with a mouse-click and then edited as to
values for the particular case in hand. I had occasion to do this just
now - fishing out the footnote command from Denemo and tweaking the
default values for the offset of the footnote mark. The thing is, I
would not have remembered the syntax for this tweak, but it was quite
obvious what to do with it given the default example.
Feedback to help steer Denemo in useful direction is always welcome -
thank you.
