So this means that the routines that Denemo uses to take the input and
generate the Denemo Directive are misreading/writing. IIRC they use a
collection of functions that handle wide characters, these should be
identical between the flatpak image I download and yours - I would be
clutching at straws to suggest how the output could differ...

Well, it *can* be changed in the LilyPond view but you have to make a
customised score layout (by clicking on the "Score Layout Options"
button in the LilyPond View) but this then "freezes" the layout of your
score - you have to make any further edits to titles etc directly in
the LilyPond View.

The AppImage is getting out of date now - I stopped building it when
the flatpak version came along.

Which binary package? The most promising would be 

http://www.denemo.org/~aschneider/daily/

if your o/s is a Debian derivative.

No, flatpak is entirely self-contained - indeed it seems to include
LilyPoond.
