--- name: "denemo" section: "1" platform: "linux" package: "denemo" version: "2.6.39-0.3" release: "Debian 13 (Trixie)" platforms: ["linux"] url: "https://new.carta.tech/denemo" --- # denemo(1) gtk+ frontend to GNU Lilypond ## NAME denemo - gtk+ frontend to GNU Lilypond ## SYNOPSIS **denemo** ## DESCRIPTION This manual page documents briefly the **denemo** command. **GNU denemo** is a GUI musical score editor written in C/gtk+. It is intended primarily as a frontend to GNU Lilypond, but is adaptable to other computer-music-related purposes as well. You can compose, transcribe, arrange, listen to the music and much more. Denemo itself does not engrave the music for printout - it uses LilyPond which generates beautiful sheet music to the highest publishing standards. Denemo just displays the staffs in a slim and efficient way, so you can enter and edit the music efficiently. The word Denemo is a corruption of the French word dénouement. The full documentation for denemo is kept in html format and can be found at /usr/share/doc/denemo-doc/denemo-manual.html after you have installed the denemo-doc package. ## SEE ALSO [**lilypond**(1)](/lilypond/1.md), **/usr/share/doc/denemo-doc/denemo-manual.html** ## AUTHOR Denemo was written by Matthew Hiller \, Adam Tee \ and others This manual page was written by Colin Watson \ and modified by Josue Abarca \, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others).
