Denemo's MIDI is mainly for checking that the notes are right. There is
provision for emitting any MIDI messages in the course of playing a
piece (see, in the File->Open->Example one which changes the tuning
between two 1/4 comma mean tone temperaments to allow for the shift in
key during a piece), but that is not really Denemo's purpose.
However, see 

https://vimeo.com/154414223

where the MIDI is generated by the LilyPond music typesetter rather than
by Denemo. In this case the MIDI is more sophisticated (depending on the
version of LilyPond you are using), it executes grace notes, for
example. 
It is intended to extend this shortly to use the articulate.ly script in
LilyPond to provide execution of trills etc.
