From the GNU.org website:
Denemo is a
graphical music notation program to be used in conjunction with GNU
Lilypond. It is written in C
using
gtk+. Denemo is intended to be a tool for
composers and arrangers, many of whom find a music processing
environment useful for the task of creating music. Though Lilypond is a powerful and versatile program, it is a
stretch to say that most people can visualize how their score is developing based on what the music definition
language they've typed into
emacs looks like.
The design principles thus far are as follows: a simple, elegant,
non-elephantine interface; What You See Is What
You Mean; and a focus on accepting user input from the keyboard. Unlike
LyX (a prominent
WYSIWYM GUI
frontend to
LaTeX), it is not intended that knowledge of Denemo will serve as a substitute for knowledge of
Lilypond or Lilypond's music definition language.
