## Introduction

Denemo lets you create musical scores. You can type music in using the keyboard or play it in using a MIDI contoller or the microphone input. You can edit your music - the display shows you what you are working on in music notation - and you can playback to check how it sounds. You can preview and print the score or parts to the highest standards used in the music publishing industry - thanks to the Lilypond music typesetting program.

Denemo does not attempt to show the appearance of the finished score, it just shows you enough to enable you to enter the music efficiently. To see the finished score you press Print Preview.

## Obtaining and Installing Denemo

Denemo is available from a variety of sources for different distributions. The latest stable release (tar.gz and .deb formats) is available for download from http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/denemo/. You can install Denemo from the Debian unstable repositories, using the command apt-get install denemo. Builds for Macintosh are available from the Gnu-Darwin project. The Denemo development branch can be downloaded using anonymous CVS or Git.

Anonymous Git checkout:

git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/denemo.git

Anonymous CVS checkout:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@pserver.git.sv.gnu.org:/denemo.git co -d denemo master

### Dependencies

To build Denemo from a source package, the following dependent packages should be installed first. Remember to install the development packages as well (check your distribution for the specific package name):

| For Debian Users
Type apt-cache showsrc denemo at a command line to determine what are the package names for Denemo dependencies. Type apt-get build-dep denemo to build the dependent files or use apt-get to install the packages individually by copying and pasting there names to the command line.

### Installing Denemo from Source Code

Denemo is available in a variety of formats. The current stable release is available either as source code or in binary format. The Development branch of Denemo is available as a GIT source tree.

Procedure 1. To install from source code:

1. Open a terminal window.

2. Change directories to the directory to which you downloaded the Denemo source package.

3. Uncompress the source package using standard Linux tools (tar and gunzip).

4. Change directories to the uncompressed directory.

Procedure 2. Generating a Configure Script

Git does not come with a Configure script; generate one by typing and pressing Enter after the line:

- ./autogen.sh

Procedure 3. To compile from source, press Enter after each line:

1. ./configure.

2. make.

3. make install.

4. If you are not logged in as root user, type su and your root password, or alternately type sudo and your user password.

## Getting Started

Most people will start with playing around with Denemo via the pc keyboard. The default setup means that keys a-g represent the note names and 0-6 the different durations (whole note, half note etc). When the cursor is on blank space pressing key "0" then key "a" will append a whole-note A, pressing "1 b" will append a half-note B etc. If the duration is not changing you can simply type the note name, it will use the last entered duration. If you do type a duration it appears as a brown note at the cursor until you have given it a note name.

When the cursor is moved on to a note (with the arrow key right or mouse) then a-g edits the note name. To insert a note before a note at the cursor use A-G. When the cursor is on a note the keys 0-6 change the duration of the note, while Shift-0 6 insert a note before the cursor. (If you use the numeric keypad you can use Shift-KP 0-6 for this). The arrow keys move the cursor around, the period key adds a dot while Alt-a-g add notes to the chord at the cursor.

| Note
When in the appending position the cursor shows as a large blue or red rectangle on a note-position. Blue indicates a note can be appended at that point without overflowing the measure. Red indicates that the measure is already full. When the cursor is a smaller green rectangle it indicates that you are not in the appending position: you can edit the note/object at the cursor or insert before it. The vertical blue line indicates the insertion point.

You can find more shortcuts by exploring the menu system - e.g. under the Notes/Rests menu the Select Duration submenu gives Remove Dot with the shortcut Control-period shown next to the command.

### What Happens at Startup

On starting a Denemo up to two music scores (called init.denemo) are loaded, and any actions associated with them are run. The first of these is provided with the system and does essential initialization, the second you can provide yourself in the file ~/.denemo/actions/init.denemo (where ~ means your home directory).

In addition, on startup a set of keyboard and mouse shortcuts, and a selection of optional menu items are loaded. You are offered a choice on startup. Once you have settled on the set you wish to use, and perhaps started to customise it you can save it for next time using "Save as Default Command Set" in the command set manager.

| Note
You should exit and re-start Denemo after creating a new command set to be sure of getting your keybindings to work.

| Note
The "Score Titles, Controls etc" checkbox is undocumented, unfortunately. What it does is to show/hide a button bar where Titles and such can be displayed. The menu items you need are under Score->Titles etc and Movement->Titles etc. When you set a title, composer, etc the Titles etc button bar will become populated.

| Note
The Playback Controls are undocumented, unfortunately. Mostly obvious commands, the lerft/right arrows move the start and end playback point forwards and backwards, while the up/down arrows set the start and end playback points to the current cursor position. See the links from the features list "To-do List" on the website.

### Some Common Keyboard Shortcuts

Here are a few of the keyboard shortcuts that are commonly used in Denemo.

- Letters a-g edit the note at the cursor to be A-G, if the cursor is in the appending position then notes are added. Letters A-G (either caps lock or shift) insert a note at the cursor.
- Numbers 0-6 are used to refer to the note durations Whole Note ... 64th Note. They insert a duration at the cursor, which you then give a pitch to with a note name. With the shift key held (or the CapsLock on) 0-6 edits the duration of the note at the cursor. The corresponding Numeric Keypad keys can be used instead.
- "." dots a note, Ctrl-"." undots it.
- Alt-0-6 inserts a rest.
- Alt-a-g Add notes to a chord. Or position the cursor and use Insert to add a note, Ctrl-Insert to remove it.
- 7 starts a slur, 8 extends it, while 9 reduces it.
- Shift-/ inserts a cautionary accidental

### Some Common Mouse Shortcuts

Here are a few of the mouse shortcuts that are commonly used in Denemo.

- Scroll Wheel pans up/down to bring staffs out of view into the window.
- Shift Key and Scroll Wheel pans the score left/right.
- Control Key and Scroll Wheel zooms.
- Shift Key and Left mouse button drags notes up and down.
- CapsLock AND Shift key with Left mouse drag inserts a crescendo
- CapsLock AND AltGr key with Left mouse drag inserts a diminuendo

For more serious use of Denemo, for transcribing hundreds of measures of music, for example, you should explore other key shortcut schemes. These are offered when you start Denemo, until you decide to save one of them as your default scheme. The Arranger scheme uses two-key bindings such as "b,s" for start repeat barline and "b,e" for end repeat barline. For shortcuts like these to work the notenames are denoted by a double keypress, e.g. "b,b" for the note b. This works because the Arranger scheme is mainly for use with MIDI keyboard for inserting notes. Composer shortcuts is another scheme concentrating on rapid entry from the pc-keyboard. The LilyPond shortcuts scheme will be familiar to those who know the LilyPond music typesetting language, as well as including commands which generate easier-to-read LilyPond output.

Denemo is used via the computer keyboard, MIDI controller or playing in via a musical instrument. Quite a few mouse operations are also included by default. Clicking on the score will select items, and the status bar at the bottom will describe the item clicked. Right-clicking on items in the score allows you to edit any special attributes, (called Directives, see the section called “Denemo Directives”), that they may have. Clicking on the initial clef, key or timesignature lets you edit these, clicking to the right or left of the measures visible moves you forwards and backwards in the score. Selections can be made by dragging with the mouse from one note to another. And right-clicking any menu item gets help and the opportunity to set a shortcuts for the menu item. Furthermore, scripts are available in the menu system that give the mouse further uses.

## Overall View of Denemo

### General Concepts

The unit of work in Denemo is a musical score, which can be saved in a single file (with .denemo suffix). This is represented on the screen by a "tab". If you have several tabs open at once they appear just above the music in the main window, and you can switch between them by clicking on the tab.

One score may contain several movements, which you can move between, insert and delete with the Movements menu. A movement is a continuous piece of music with titles etc.

Within a movement there are staffs (arranged vertically) and within the staffs Denemo Objects. These can be notes, chords and Denemo Directives (see the section called “Denemo Directives”). The notes and chords are displayed in conventional format (though not fully typeset). The Denemo Directives are used for most things that are not chords or notes: Metronome marks, repeat barlines etc are good examples. They can also be attached to chords, individual notes in a chord, to a staff as a whole and to the score as a whole; in this case the directive can be thought of as an attribute of the object it is attached to. Each Denemo Directive carries its own display method. For example the Close Repeat barline appears as a Denemo Object in the converional music notation, while a Directive attached to a staff (e.g. Smaller Staff) may appear in a menu under a tools icon to the right of the staff. In the case of "Smaller Staff" the directive directs the LilyPond typesetter to make the staff smaller, and it can be edited from the menu under the tools icon to the left of the clef. Another tools icon appears if directives are attached to voices within a staff, again to the left of the clef, below the staff one.

The command Edit Object gives access to editing Denemo Directives, which generally have their own edit methods. You can use the Print View to indicate the padding that you wish to apply to some item, or to show where you want to drag it to.

The titles of the current movement can be set in the movement menu, and for the whole score in the score menu. In the movement menu you can cause a page break before the movement.

| Note
When a file is loaded it opens at the point where you left off editing it.

## The Denemo Window

Figure 1. Main Window

The main window has menus and toolbars at the top. The Titles Etc appear next, along with any extra menu items which you may have placed there (e.g. the Print Part button). With View->Score View checked there is next the drawing area where the music input is displayed. When zoomed out you see just the few measures you are working on. By dragging the red bar at the bottom of the score upwards you get space for more of the music. If you have many staffs they may not all fit: you can still drag the red bar upwards to see several lines of just one or two staffs for instance. With View->Print View checked there is another pane showing the print preview of your score. Below this is a "Console Pane" showing any LilyPond messages while typesetting the music. At the bottom is a status line showing which movement you are in and what sort of object the cursor is on. If there are any MIDI filters that active they will be noted at the right in the status bar. The small colored rectangle is the Denemo Cursor , which shows where notes etc will be added/edited next - the insertion point is marked as a blue vertical bar. Selected music is indicated by a blue background.

The menus in Denemo are unusual: they not only let you do some particular action, but also each menu item lets you enquire what the action does in more detail and lets you set keyboard/mouse shortcuts for the actions. All this extra functionality & more comes with right-clicking the menu item, while the usual left click is for executing the action itself. The menus can always be torn off for working with particular items (e.g. working with different movements or with measures, dynamics etc.). Also available by right-clicking is creating new actions - often by modifying ones that are already there.

## The Print Preview Pane

The print preview pane is shown by checking View->Print View. Right clicking in this pane allows you to refresh the print preview (the program hangs waiting for LilyPond to finish).

Right clicking in this pane also allows you to choose offsets to apply to items that LilyPond has positioned badly.Or you can select an amount of padding to apply to some object. This is generally a better way of indicating that it is too close to something else, since other objects will move away from it as needed - that is, if you later edit something it will behave more intelligently. The actual editing is always done in the Score View pane, choosing Edit Object while the cursor is on the offending object and then dragging in the Print Preview window to indicate the amount of change required.

## The Main Menubar

## Playback Controls

Use this frame to control MIDI playback of the current movement. It has the following controls:

Icon | Description
--- | ---
| Runs DenemoFirst script.
| Runs DenemoGoBack script.
| Moves the start playback position backwards. Runs DenemoGoBack script.
| Sets start playback position to cursor. Runs DenemoStartToCursor script.
| Moves the start playback position forwards. Runs DenemoNext script.

Tempo | For movements with a single tempo this tempo is changed for rest of the playback. If the movement has an embedded MIDI tempo change, the change will be altered proportionally. The movement tempo setting itself is not altered - you are just altering the playback.(See next button or Movements->MIDI Tempo for setting that)
Set Tempo | Sets the overall tempo of the movement to the value fixed by the Tempo slider
Volume | Reduces the current volume by the % set. Again, this applies only to playback and proportionally affects embedded dynamics.
Set | Calls the DenemoSetPlaybackIntervalToSelection script.

## Midi In Controls

Use this frame to control MIDI input to the current movement. It has the following controls:

Icon | Description
--- | ---
| Sets the end sharps and flats to use.
MIDI->Score | Directs the MIDI in to the score or to a MIDI recorder. The MIDI recorder is active when Record button is pressed. When you wish to return to score editing, this button re-directs MIDI-in to the score.
Delete | Deletes your MIDI recording.
Convert | Converts your MIDI recording to Notation. Not yet at all practical!

## Object Menu

The object menus give you actions (such as insert, delete ...) ordered by the objects (notes, staffs, measures ...) that they act on.

Menu Item | Description
--- | ---
Score | Settings that apply to the whole score.
Movements | Insert/remove navigate, change the properties of movements.
Staffs/Voices | Insert/remove, navigate, swap, change the properties of staffs or voices
Measures | Insert/remove navigate measures .
Notes/Rests | The first menu item in this menu depends on which mode you have chosen. For example in Classic mode there is a function to move the cursor to a new note while in Insert mode the function inserts a note of the given name. These menu items are present mainly to allow you to set shortcuts – it would be too slow to use them for actually entering notes/rests. I addition there are menu items for inserting rests, deleting, tied notes, setting the notehead style and stem direction, grace notes, triplets, transposing and more
Chords | Insert/remove notes from a chord.
Clefs | Insert change or set the initial clef.
Keys | Insert a change or set the initial key.
Time Signatures | Insert a change or set the initial time signature.

Bookmarks | Create/delete or move to bookmarked positions in the current movement.
Lyrics | Create and delete lyrics.
Other | Enter chord symbols, figured basses or LilyPond directives. Clear overlays.

### Score

In the score properties dialog things that affect the whole piece can be set, as well as the titles of the current movement. In the score properties dialog you can include directives to apply to all the movements.

| Note
When a file is loaded it opens with the final movement set as the current movement.

### Adding Markings

Dynamics, Slurs, Trills, Tempo Indications, and much more a found in the Markings menu

You can collect together your favorite ones, either by assigning shortcuts, or creating a menu of favorite commands which just invoke the action you use.

Procedure 4. Adding Markings using the Articulation palette

Some ornaments and articulations have been collected together as a palette.

Example 1.

## Music Snippets

The Music Snippet toolbar lets you keep a number of snippets of music for pasting into your score. You can enter notes following a rhythmic pattern of a snippet. If you have a pattern in your music that appears many times you only need to type it once. By selecting it and clicking Create Snippet you install that snippet on the toolbar. Then as you enter notes (in Insert Mode) the notes follow the rhythmic pattern chosen. Pressing a duration key goes back to adding notes of the prevailing duration. You can have several snippets like this and switch between them using the space bar (or other keybinding of your choice). Another (more musical) way of entering rhythms is to "drum" them in using the keys on the computer keyboard for quarter-note, eighth-note etc, a curious sort of "musical instrument" where you change key for different durations. Use the numeric keypad for this. Drumming in is quickly learnt and, by playing in the notes rhythmically you can keep your place in the music. Use the immediate feedback option for this, so that you get a bell to confirm when you have completed a measure.

Using Input->Midi or Audio allows you to enter pitches directly. If you have entered your piece of music as pure rhythm you can overlay with the pitches using a MIDI controller or musical instrument with mic, headphones out or pickup attached to your soundcard.

## Playing Notes into Denemo - MIDI

Denemo can take pitches directly from MID input. Select Input->Midi Input. The control window allows you to choose the enharmonic range. Under Mode->MIDI are various "MIDI filters" that allow you to control how the MIDI input is used: with none active the behaviour is as if you had entered the notes using the pc-keyboard (except that octave, accidental and note name are all entered in one go). You can also use Advance on Edit to put the pitches onto pre-entered rhythms, or Check Pitches (where you play through the piece and a warning is issued if you hit a wrong note).

These MIDI filters are scheme scripts, so they can be tailored to do whatever you wish. One example is a filter that enables you to enter Figured Bass figures by playing the notes corresponding to the figures while holding down the bass note. Chords could be entered using similar code.

## Playing Notes into Denemo - Audio (Souncard Mic Input)

Denemo can listen for, and detect the pitch of notes on the mic input of the computer; it doesn't attempt to guess the rhythm - such systems do not work well - but you will find that playing the notes in time will help you to play them in, as well as make playing them in a musical experience rather than a chore.

Playing the notes in can be much quicker than using the keyboard since the note octave and accidental are all given just by playing the note. If you are able to play a musical instrument then this will probably be much faster for you than typing note names, octave shifts and accidentals at the computer keyboard. Using the headphones out of an electronic keyboard avoids "noises-off" interfering with the pitch detection. Many microphones and pickups benefit from some pre-amplification - it is worth getting the level right before you begin.

When you select the Input->Audio on the Main Menu the Pitch Recognition window pops up. While the mouse pointer is inside the score drawing area the score is sensitive to pitches heard via the microphone input. The background colour of the score changes to show that the notes will be entered into the score.

There are two ways of using the pitch entry - Overlay mode (default) and Insert mode. The button marked Insert causes notes to be entered into the current measure in the prevailing rhythm - the mode is set to Insert for this. The button marked Overlays overlays the notes already present with the pitches you sound. There is a third button, marked Tuning, which is a state-of-the art musical instrument tuner.

Music is entered into the measure which holds the cursor. If you are overlaying a rhythm already entered, then the first un-overlayed note in the measure is overlayed by the note detected. You can delete the overlay using the regular delete keys, or clear them altogether if you want to start over in a measure. If you are in Insert mode then the notes detected will be inserted at the cursor position.

Use the enharmonic shift to select whether Bb or A# should be entered when you enter the given pitch - you can usefully go as far as B# and Fb.

Use the transpose control to shift up or down by octaves.

Most of the other settings would require study of the Aubio documentation to understand, but the one marked threshold may be useful to make the detection less sensitive to ambient noises if using a microphone with an acoustic instrument.

The best set-up is to plug the headphones-out socket of an electronic keyboard into the mic input, and choose a piano setting on the electronic keyboard.

If you don't have any musical instrument that you can plug directly into the mic in, then you can use an acoustic instrument with a microphone, in which case move your microphone closer or further from your instrument to get reliable detection. Too close and you get double detections, too far and you get missed ones. To check for good detection open a piece of music, set Overlay mode and put the cursor in the first measure and play the piece in – the notes should all turn blue if you have perfect detection. It is worth while getting perfect detection – more than one or two miss-detects per piece of music and you may want to use the Insert rather than the Overlay method.

## A Survey of the Input Methods

#### Introduction

Denemo allows you to explore all the actions (insert/delete/edit/navigate...) using the menus. So, for example, inserting notes can be found under Notes/Rests while inserting a Staff comes under Staffs/Voices.

| Note
When you have found the action you need you can right click on the menu item to get an explanation of the action and to view/set a key press- a keyboard shortcut - to activate the action. If you are setting a lot of keyboard shortcuts for menu items you can check the Edit->Keyboard Setup->Allow Quick Shortcut Edits button, whereupon you can set the keyboard shortcut just by pressing the desired key while the menu item is selected. In addition you can customize the mouse actions to initiate commands, and set the cursor that will show while certain mouse conditions apply.

Denemo offers several ways of entering music: typing at the keyboard, playing in via a MIDI keyboard (controller), playing in acoustically using a microphone or choosing items from the menu system.

Using the menus for everything would be very slow, but next to each menu item is the keypress that you can use instead. If there is no keypress shown, and you want to use that item often, then right click on the menu item and you can set a key combination for that menu action. Right clicking is also useful for getting a description of what the menu action is.

Typing at the keyboard can be very fast, if you forget which keypress you need you can consult the menu system to find out. This method is good for touch typists.

For entering a lot of already written-out music, playing the music in via a MIDI keyboard or microphone can offer the fastest and most musical method.

One way to do this is enter the music as pure rhythms, ignoring the note names. The durations show as brown notes. Each duration sounds its own pitch and length as you enter the durations. As you start each measure the bell will sound so that you can keep your eyes on the score you are copying without needing to look up and check that you haven't miss-typed. If you are a reading musician you will find that you tap in the rhythm rhythmically which helps to keep your place in the piece you are entering.

Once you have entered the rhythms you choose an external source from the Input menu, placing the cursor in the first measure, play the notes via MIDI or a microphone plugged into the mic input of your soundcard. When you play notes in via MIDI they give their pitches to the rhythm you have notated. By this means you can enter a piece of music in the time taken to play it twice - once to give the rhythm and once to give the pitches. If the piece modulates strongly you may need to shift the set of accidentals used to match the score.

The Audio Input button introduces a special entry mode where the pitches you play in will overlay the rhythm, appearing as blue notes. You can delete any wrong pitches using the usual delete keys, without deleting the rhythm. In fact if you have an "interloper" (an extra spurious note) you can delete it and the other pitches will all move along to their correct places.

Another method of playing music in acoustically doesn't involve entering the rhythm separately. For this select Input->Audio and then choose Insert instead of Overlays on the Pitch Recognition Panel that pops up. With Insert the sounded notes are entered as in the prevailing rhythm. The same applies if you have MIDI, only you just need to select Insert mode to enter the notes in that case. So by choosing a rhythm (e.g. half-note, quarter-note, or a custom rhythm pattern) and playing in the pitches you can enter the music into a blank score.

For MIDI input there are special modes (MIDI filters), such the "AngryDelete" filter. With this filter on notes are entered normally until, but if you make a mistake and press the wrong note just hit the next one much louder and it will make the correction for you! MIDI filters are found under Input->MIDI

The oldest Denemo keymaps are no longer supported. (see the section called “Adding Key/Mouse Shortcuts”). (Input via MIDI keyboard and Mic in is now available). Denemo shortcuts also work on Numeric Keypad.

#### Score Setup

Denemo provides different ways to set up scores:

- Create template with the special name "default.denemo". If this is placed at the top level of your templates directory (that is ~/.denemo/templates/default.denemo), then it will be opened each time you start a new score.

- Create an init.denemo score with everything you want to start up with, and any actions you want to be taken before you begin. This will be opened when you first start Denemo (that is once per Denemo session). See the section called “Musical Score that Do Things!” for details on what actions you can have Denemo perform before you start.

- Use a Template

- Use shortcut keys to add staves and set attributes

- Use the Setup Wizard

- Use Menus

##### Using Templates to Setup Scores

Denemo comes with a few preinstalled templates. You can also design your own templates as well.

1. Navigate to File, New From Template, The Open dialog box appears.

2. Double click on a template name from the list of templates. The dialog box closes and the template appears.

| Note
Adjust the clef, key and time signatures as needed.

##### Using Shortcuts to Setup Scores

Inserting attributes with shortcut keys is an effective way to quickly customize a template.

- Navigate to the Staff you want to change an attribute using one of these shortcuts:

  - Select Staffs/Voices-\>StaffDown to move down one staff

  - Select Staffs/Voices-\>StaffUp to move up one staff

##### Using Templates to Setup Scores

Denemo Comes with a wide range of prebuilt templates for standard vocal and instrumental scores. If you have a custom score setup you use over and over create a score layout using the Setup Wizard and save it as a template.

1. Click on File-\>New From Template, The `Open` Dialog box appears displaying the currently available Templates.

2. Double click on the template name in the righthand pane. The template loads in the Main Denemo Window.

   | Note
   The currently active staff will be black. All other staves will be yellow, until they are active.

## Adding Key/Mouse Shortcuts

Denemo allows you to choose which keys activate which commands. It also allows you to choose Mouse press/release gestures (in combination with keys such as Shift, NumLock, CapsLock etc).

To choose a shortcut for a menu item, right-click on the item and choose the Create Mouse Shortcut, or the Edit Shortcuts option. The Set Mouse Shortcut Dialog requires you to set which button and action you want to use and then to hold/lock the keyboard modifier while clicking on the big button. The setting you have chosen is shown, and you click ok to accept it.

To set a keyboard shortcut, and to delete any sort of shortcut, use the Edit Shortcuts menu item. This dialog also allows you to choose a cursor to show while certain mouse actions are underway.

If your choice of keyboard shortcut already belongs to another command, you are warned about this, and given the chance to change your mind or steal the shortcut. Also, you can choose whether to distinguish between keypresses with, say the NumLock down and those without or to ignore it. If the NumLock is set but no command for that key specifically requires it then the setting of NumLock is ignored and the keypress is treated as if the NumLock was off.

The menu item that activates the command shows the shortcuts that exist in bright blue lettering. PrsL-CapsLoc, for example, is the Press action on the Left mouse key while the CapsLock light is on. In the default command set this is linked to the BeginSlur command, so that together with the RlsL-CapsLoc for the release of the left mouse button, you can "draw" slurs by using the mouse. Similarly, Shift with left mouse button (MveL-Shift) is set to allow you to drag notes up and down the staff. (This is using Command MoveNoteToCursor, which is found under Notes/Rests/Edit/Edit Note/To Cursor)

## More Commands

### Adding More Features

It is possible to add more commands to the set that Denemo ships with. Some of these are shipped with Denemo, but not added automatically so as to keep the menu sizes manageable. Generally, you right-click to find more menu items to add; once added you can set a keyboard/mouse shortcut and keep the command in your default setup.

### Adding Your Own Features

You can also get Denemo to remember a frequently used sequence of actions - it can be installed in the menu system and given a keyboard shortcut just like any other command.

To do this you right-click and choose Show Scheme Script. (You do not have to understand what a Scheme Script is to use this!). In the little window that pops up set Record Scheme Script and then do the set of steps you wish Denemo to remember, using the menu items, not keyboard, for each step.

As a simple example, suppose you wanted a command to delete the next note (there are commands to delete the previous note and the current note, so why not?). You would enter some notes, put on Record Scheme Script and then from the menu Cursor select Cursor Right (to move on to the note to be deleted), and with the Notes/Rests->Delete->Delete Object menu item you would delete the note. (Each time you use a menu item you will see a new command entered into the Scheme window). Now turn off Record Scheme Script and you can experiment with your new command by pressing Execute in the Scheme Script window. To save this new command for future use, you right click on a menu item (in the menu where you would like the command to appear) and choose "Save Script as New Menu Item", this will ask you to make up a name for your new command as well as a label for the menu item etc.

You can save the command in your default sequence of commands (via Edit->Customize Commands...->Manage Command Set->Save as Default Command Set). If not you will be asked if you want to save your new commands when you exit. Otherwise you can re-load via the More->My Commands menu item.

### An even easier way

There is an even easier way of adding your own favorite LilyPond tweaks, which is by modifying a tweak that has already been done. This can be done by using the text-edit dialog on an existing Denemo Directive (usually found under the Advanced button provided by an edit script). Here you can see the actual LilyPond text that will be inserted, and there is a button to create a script to generate whatever you choose to enter. You can also enter the name of graphic images (.png files) that are to be used to represent your item in the display, and say where it should be positioned.

Once you have created the script, it can be saved in the menu system by right clicking on an item in the menu where you want to place the command, and choosing "Save Script as New Menu Item" as above.

### Writing Scheme Scripts

If you are a programmer you will have guessed that you can edit the Scheme Script window to create any command you want. Even if you are not familiar with Scheme you may find that you can adapt other scripts to do what you want.

A good example of this is a script to insert a particular LilyPond directive into the score. This is all that many scripts do: it is easy to see the piece of LilyPond in the Scheme Script window, and by changing it you can create a new command.

For example, from the More menu select the command /menus/ObjectMenu/Instruments/Orchestral/RehearsalMark (the files are laid out in folders/directories in the same way as the menu system itself). Then choose Get Script from the right click menu. With this command its script is appended to the Scheme Script window. Here you can see the part that says

- (d-DirectivePut-standalone-postfix "RehearsalMark" " \\mark \\default" )

which is inserting the LilyPond directive "\mark \default" which inserts the default rehearsal mark. (The extra \s are needed to tell Scheme that you literally mean a \ sign). You can change this to insert any other LilyPond that you need - always doubling the \ signs. The you can save as a new menu item, or use Save Script to customize the script you started with.

More ambitious programmers will need to know all the commands available. Besides the complete Denemo command set (the list is given in the Command Management window) there are the following additional Scheme procedures defined.

- d-InitializeScript deprecated - init.scm is now run automatically. (parameter: action-name) runs a script init.scm in the menupath attached to the action whose name is given. Used by commands that need a time-consuming initialization step which can be skipped on subsequent calls.
- d-GetType returns a scheme string indicating the type of the current object
- d-GetNoteName returns a scheme string, giving the note name a-g of the current note
- d-GetNote returns a scheme string, the note name, accidental and octave of the current note (LilyPond notation)
- d-GetNotes returns a scheme string, the notes of a chord separated by NULL characters
- d-PutNoteName takes a string argument, a note in LilyPond notation. Changes the note at the cursor. Not for use with multi-note chords.
- d-DiatonicShift Deprecated.
- d-NextObject moves cursor to next object, returning TRUE if current object has changed
- d-NextChord as d-NextObject, but skipping non-chord objects. chords includes rests and chords with 1 or more notes.
- d-NextNote as d-NextChord but skipping rests (i.e. chords with 0 notes).
- d-NextStandaloneDirective as NextObject, stopping on a standalone directive. Using d-DirectiveGet-standalone tag a directive of a particular tag can be found.
- (d-Directive-type? optional-tag) where type is one of score, scoreheader, movementcontrol, header, paper, layout, clef, timesig, keysig, staff, voice, standalone, chord or note.This returns #t if the cursor is on a directive of type (with tag optional-tag if optional-tag is present) else #f
- (d-DirectivePut-standalone? tag) inserts a standalone directive with the given tag at the current cursor position and places the cursor on it.
- (d-DirectiveGetTag-type) where type is one of score, scoreheader, movementcontrol, header, paper, layout, clef, timesig, keysig, staff, voice, standalone, chord or note. This returns the tag if the cursor is on a directive of type else #f
- (d-DirectiveGetTagForTag-type tag) returns the tag passed in if the cursor is on directive of type with that tag, else it returns the tag of the first directive of type that is present at the cursor, else #f
- d-WarningDialog Pass a string argument to pop up a warning.
- d-GetOption (parameter string of options). Takes a null separated set of options and pops up a dialog offering them to the user. Returns the one chosen or #f if the user cancels.
- d-GetChar returns a string containing a single character from the user (blocks waiting for a keypress)
- d-GetKeypress returns a string representing a keypress from the user (blocks waiting for a keypress) (e.g. Up for the up arrow key etc.)
- d-GetCommand returns a string containing the command name for the user's keypress (blocks waiting for a keypress)
- d-GetUserInput takes three strings, displays and returns the user's response as a string.
- d-GetMidi
- d-PutMidi
- d-PlayMidiKey
- d-BassFigure
- d-GetNoteAsMidi
- d-RefreshDisplay
- d-InputFilterNames sets the status bar
- d-Chordize Ensure that even a single note is treated as a chord - needed for some LilyPond constructs (e.g. fingerings)

Standard Denemo commands that pop up dialogs will work as usual if no argument is passed to them from Scheme. In general if a string consisting of strings of the form "name=value\0" is passed these will be used and no popup will occur. The field "name" will be given the value "value". The \0 is a NULL character that separates the assignment strings. As a shorthand if there is only one value being passed you can just pass the value. The names of the fields depend on the action being called. So for example

Example 2.

(d-Open "filename=myfile.denemo\0")

will open the file "myfile.denemo".

This feature is being rolled out, and currently works for

- d-InsertLilyDirective (directive, display. minpixels) (deprecated function)
- d-AttachLilyToChord (prefix, postfix, display) deprecated see d-DirectiveGet-chord-* and d-DirectivePut-chord-* below
- d-AttachLilyToNote (prefix, postfix, display) deprecated see d-DirectiveGet-note* and Put below
- d-StaffProperties understands a couple of property=value settings
- d-InitialClef
- d-InsertClef
- d-InitialKey
- d-InsertKey
- d-Open filename
- d-ScoreProperties (fontsize= size of font to be used for score)

## Denemo Directives

These give attributes to objects that are not built-in but can be changed by the user.

Denemo Directives can be attached at almost every level of a Denemo score and can modify the behavior of the element concerned. They contain fields to describe how the element's properties should be modified, either in the display or in the printing. Elements, such as clefs notes etc have their own built-in display and print properties; Denemo Directives allow you (or scripts you invoke) to modify them for many more purposes than the built-in set allows. This means Denemo can grow - you can add features - without getting a new version.

For example the drum clef is not built-in to Denemo. Instead a directive attached to the clef has a field (graphic) set to an image of the drum clef, and another field (postfix) set to the LilyPond syntax for a drum clef, while another field (override) is set to indicate that these values should replace the normal ones, rather than adding to them.

The elements that can be modified in this way are the following:

- score: the LilyPond fields (prefix and postfix) are placed at the start of the score and just before each movement. The display field is shown at the top of the display.
- scoreheader: Attached to the score. The postfix field is put inside a \header{} block at the start of the score.
- movementcontrol: Attached to a movement. The prefix field is placed before the movements \score{} block, the postfix after it.
- header: Attached to a movement. As scoreheader but for \header[] blocks inside the movement's score block.
- paper: Attached to the score. The postfix is placed inside a \paper{} block.
- layout: Attached to a movement. The postfix is placed inside a \layout{} block in the movement's scoreblock.
- clef: Attached to a clef or clef change. The graphic holds the displayed icon, gx,gy its position. The postfix field is put into the music at the point where the clef is found, replacing the normal text if the override is set.
- timesig: Attached to a time signature or time signature change. The graphic holds the displayed icon, gx,gy its position. The postfix field is put into the music at the point where the time signature is found, replacing the normal text if the override is set.
- keysig: as timesig but for key signatures. (e.g. used to supress keysignatures in drum clef).
- staff: The postfix field modifies the whole staff context, with the display field printed at the start of the staff
- voice: The postfix field modifies the voice context, with the display field printed at the start of the staff containing the voice
- standalone: A directive not attached to an music element - it comes with the music and is used for things like repeat bars etc.
- chord: The prefix field is emitted before the LilyPond for the chord and the postfix after it.
- note: The prefix field is emitted before the LilyPond for the note and the postfix after it. Examples are fingerings attached to notes etc. Again the display and graphic fields a placed in the display positioned relative to the note via the coordinate fields gx, gy (for the graphic) and tx, ty for the display text.

The Directives are sufficiently important to have their own commands.

- d-DirectivePut-type-field where type is one of score, scoreheader, movementcontrol, header, paper, layout, clef, timesig, keysig, staff, voice, standalone, chord or note and field is one of display, tx, ty, gx, gy, graphic, prefix, postfix, override, midibytes. These commands take two arguments, a tag (string) and a value to set. For example

  Example 3.

  (d-DirectivePut-note-postfix "LHFinger" "3")
  will put the fingering 3 on (after) the note at the cursor.
- d-DirectiveGet-type-field type is one of score, scoreheader, movementcontrol, header, paper, layout, clef, timesig, keysig, staff, voice, standalone, chord or note and field is one of display, tx, ty, gx, gy, graphic, prefix, postfix, override, midibytes. This function returns the value in the field or #f if there is no directive with the given tag at the cursor.
- d-DirectiveDelete-type type is one of score, scoreheader, movementcontrol, header, paper, layout, clef, timesig, keysig, staff, voice, standalone, chord or note. This function returns #t or #f if a directive with the given tag was deleted.

### The Directive Fields

The fields of the Denemo Directive can control the Denemo Display and the LilyPond output.

The fields in d-DirectiveGet/Put have the following meanings

- postfix - A fragment of LilyPond to be output (after the LilyPond for any object the directive is attached to).
- prefix - A fragment of LilyPond to be output (before the LilyPond for any object the directive is attached to).
- display - text to be shown in the Denemo Display
- tx, ty - where to show the text in the Denemo Display
- graphic - For directives that are in the music this is a .png image to be shown in the Denemo Display (the directory bitmaps holds these). The graphic can be saved for a command using the right-click -> Save Graphic command, after selecting a portion of the print preview as the image required. For directives attached to the score, movement etc the string set here will be displayed on the button in the button box for that sort of directive (see Show Score Titles etc in view menu for showing this button box).
- gx, gy - where to show thegraphic in the Denemo Display
- minpixels - how much space to leave for this item in the Denemo Display
- override - Contains bits to determine whether the LilyPond contained in the Directive (postfix and/or prefix fields) should override the normal LilyPond output, and whether the Graphic should replace the normal Denemo display for the item. A further tranche of bits controls MIDI output for the directive, which can override the normal MIDI interpretation of the music and provide additional information not explicit in the music notation (e.g. the tempo of an Adagio marking).
- midibytes - a string of numbers (in hexadecimal format) whose interpretation is given by the MIDI bits in the override field

The override field contains the following bits:

- DENEMO_OVERRIDE_LILYPOND : override the LilyPond output normally used at this point, rather than adding to the normal output. The text used is in the prefix and postfix fields.
- DENEMO_OVERRIDE_GRAPHIC : overrides what Denemo would normally show in the display with the image named in the graphic field of the directive

The MIDI bits in the override field are as follows

- DENEMO_OVERRIDE_VOLUME : the MIDI velocity to use
- DENEMO_OVERRIDE_DURATION : affects the duration of a note. not yet implemented
- DENEMO_OVERRIDE_REPEAT : indicates that an earlier passage should be repeated (from a directive of the same tag). not yet implemented
- DENEMO_OVERRIDE_CHANNEL : midibytes field gives the MIDI channel to use (? implemented?)
- DENEMO_OVERRIDE_TEMPO : midibytes field gives the tempo to use.

The interpretation of these flags is modified by the following flags:

- DENEMO_OVERRIDE_ONCE : the value in midibytes is to be used just for the item the directive is attached to. not yet implemented
- DENEMO_OVERRIDE_STEP : the value in midibytes is to be used from this point on
- DENEMO_OVERRIDE_RAMP : the value in midibytes is to be used as a starting value, a corresponding directive (i.e. with the same tag) gives the findal value, values are then interpolated between these. not yet implemented
- DENEMO_OVERRIDE_RELATIVE : value in midibytes is used relative to the current value (otherwise it is an absolute value; e.g. an absolute velocity etc)
- DENEMO_OVERRIDE_PERCENT : value in midibytes is interpreted as percentage value. not yet implemented

These flags are combined together to get the combination required for the directive using the scheme procedure called logior.

Here is an example, making a step-change in volume of 0x40 in the MIDI output, and printing "più mosso" in the output score

;;;;;;;;;; piu mosso

(d-DirectivePut-standalone-minpixels "StepTempo" 20)

(d-CursorLeft)

(d-DirectivePut-standalone-override "StepTempo" (logior DENEMO_OVERRIDE_TEMPO DENEMO_OVERRIDE_STEP DENEMO_OVERRIDE_RELATIVE))

(d-DirectivePut-standalone-midibytes "StepTempo" "40")

(d-DirectivePut-standalone-display "StepTempo" "piu mosso")

(d-DirectivePut-standalone-postfix "StepTempo" "^\\markup {\\bold \\italic \"più mosso\"}")

(d-RefreshDisplay)

In this example the directive is a standalone directive. MIDI commands are being extended to apply to chords and notes. Implementation of the commands for Voices, Movements, Score etc are not yet done.

## Directive Edit Scripts

### Introduction

Score and movement directives can define a value for their graphic - a button then appears at the top of the score which can be used to edit the directive. Likewise Staff and Voice directives show as a properties icon before the staff to which they apply (staff directives above, voice directives below). Clicking on these lets you edit the directive.

The command EditDirective can be used when the cursor is on a Denemo Directive object, or an object with a Denemo Directive attached to it. What happens then is determined by a script named after the "tag", or name of the directive. For example the command RehearsalMark creates a Directive with tag "RehearsalMark" and EditDirective runs a script called RehearsalMark.scm.

There is also a low-level editing dialog which is invoked if no editing script exists or directly from scheme using (d-DirectiveTextEdit-* tagname). This allows you to edit and delete a directive directly. The other directive editing commands are EditScoreDirective EditMovementDirective EditStaffDirective EditVoiceDirective EditClefDirective EditKeysigDirective EditTimesigDirective for directives attached to the relevant objects.

The low level edit of directives from scheme uses the following command:

- (d-DirectiveTextEdit-<field> <tagname>). Where <tagname> specifies the directive to be edited and <field> is one of score, scoreheader, movementcontrol, header, paper, layout, clef, timesig, keysig, staff, voice, standalone, chord or note.

For example (d-DirectiveTextEdit-paper "PrintAllHeaders") gives low-level access to the directive setting the print all headers command in the paper block of the LilyPond output.

### Initialization Scripts

Each menu can have an initialization script, which can contain procedures that would be too time consuming to define every time they are needed. These scripts are guaranteed to be run before any menu item is activated within the menu. They can be read/written using the right click menu on any scripted menu item.

### Edit Scripts

Each directive has a tag field, so that it can be recognized by the scripts that manipulate it. In particular for each tag there can be an edit script, for editing a directive of that tag. Edit scripts are kept in a directory actions/editscripts parallel with the directory actions/menus where the commands themselves are kept.

You can read and write edit scripts by using the low level editing dialog on a directive with the tag you are writing for.

| Note
The low level editing dialog is the one that is presented if there is no edit script. Edit scripts can themselves give access to this dialog by including an option cue-Advanced which calls (d-DirectiveTextEdit-field tag) for the appropriate field and tag. For an example see the edit script for Instruments -> Orchestra -> RehearsalMark.

They have available functions to enable editing of directives which are defined in actions//denemo.scm executed at startup. The functions and variables for script editing are

- d-GetOption followed by a nul separated list of options, offers the options to the user and returns one, or #f if the user cancels.
- Extra-Offset tag type context. Takes three string options: tag is the name of the directive to be edited, which must be the name of a LilyPond object, type is the type of directive (note, chord, standalone, staff, voice or score), context is the LilyPond context of the object. Only tag is required. Shifts the object in the LilyPond output.
- SetPadding tag type context. As Extra-Offset, it sets the space left around the item in the LilyPond engraving process.
- SetRelativeFontSize tag type context. As Extra-Offset, it shifts the font size of the following text in the LilyPond engraving process.
- CreateButton tag label this is just a convenience function to put a button with the passed in label onto a button box at the top of the screen. Scripts can attach actions to such tagged buttons.
- Useful variables defined: (define stop "\0") (define cue-Advanced "Advanced") (define cue-PlaceAbove "Place above staff") (define cue-PlaceBelow "Place below staff") (define cue-SetRelativeFontSize "Set Relative Font Size") (define cue-OffsetPositionAll "Offset Position (All)") (define cue-OffsetPositionOne "Offset Position (One)") (define cue-EditText "Edit Text") (define cue-SetPadding "Set Padding") (define cue-Delete "Delete")

## LilyPond Editing

### Introduction

From version 0.7.8 we have the ability to edit the LilyPond output within Denemo. This approach immediately makes Denemo able to do many more things (e.g. multiple verses for songs) with the music still editable from within Denemo. The gallery of examples and the standard templates contain examples which you can use.

These can be used without knowing the LilyPond language (provided a suitable template or example file exists). Alternatively, with a general idea of how a LilyPond file works tweaks from the LilyPond documentation can be inserted into the LilyPond output and stored with the Denemo, leaving open the possibility of further editing of the notes within Denemo without the need to re-apply tweaks or keep separate LilyPond files.

### Using the LilyPond Window

Under the View menu is a Show LilyPond item which pops up a window with the LilyPond output in it. The text is interspersed with buttons which enable you to hide or show the various sections or to create custom versions. The text in bold can be altered and the alterations are kept in the Denemo file.

The two windows are kept in sync, so you can move back and forth between editing textually and editing in Denemo.

Right clicking on the text gives a menu for actions on the LilyPond text. There is one for moving the cursor to the LilyPond text for the current Denemo object. Moving the cursor in the text window with the arrow keys causes the Denemo window cursor to move in synchronism.

This menu also includes a Print command that operates on the visible LilyPond text in the window. This means you can open specific custom score blocks and print from them, or even make a temporary edit for just one print. If you save the program while a choice of custom scoreblocks is open then these are remembered. So when you reload and hit Print those score blocks will be printed.

### Detail

Several custom scoreblocks can be kept, and by making the one(s) desired visible, the same Denemo file can be used to print a variety of things from the same music input. For example, a full score or a set of parts, or several voices on group of staffs or even a piano reduction. The custom scoreblocks can be are named using the comment on the first line (see the template Piano.denemo for an example).

The various Voices/Staffs for the different Movements are separated by buttons. These are labelled by enumerating the movements and staffs in order, so the first voice in the first movement has the music defined as "MvmntIVoiceIMusic" and so on. Within these music blocks you can insert arbitrary LilyPond text between notes, (the insertion points are marked by grey blocks) and the text inserted will appear as a LilyPond directives in the main Denemo window.

The main Denemo window also moves its cursor to correspond with where you are editing. (It should of course move the cursor immediately you click on a point in the music, but, as yet, it only moves the cursor when you press a key just before the note name - one of the arrow keys will do).

Custom score blocks are created by right-clicking on the Standard score block and selecting create custom score block. You can cut and paste another score block, or start from the text of the standard one. If you print a single part from all movements, you get the standard scoreblock for this and can add it to your custom score block so that a single print command prints, e.g. both a full score and parts. Using the \book {} block you can put these into separate files (stored in the folder .denemo in your home folder).

The music defined by MvmntIVoiceIMusic is then used in the score blocks at the end of the LilyPond window, by the expression \MvmntIVoiceIMusic. This means that the same music can be output in several different ways, so that the same Denemo file can contain custom score blocks to output the music as a Piano Score with several voices or separate parts, for example.

The definitions for MvmntIVoiceIMusic actually look like this

- MvmntIVoiceIProlog = {\MvmntIVoiceITimeSig \MvmntIVoiceIKeySig \MvmntIVoiceIClef}
- MvmntIVoiceIMusic = {\MvmntIVoiceIProlog \MvmntIVoiceI}

Where \MvmntIVoiceI is the actual block of notes you have written, while the other definitions hold the time signature, clef etc. By using these, you can print the same music with different clefs, still maintaining the ability to edit the notes in Denemo.

Note that the normal Denemo Print commands are still operate as they do if you never look at the LilyPond window. What happens is that if you select the Print Current Part menu item then this creates a tailored standard scoreblock for that part. However, if you use the File->Print command then it prints the first custom scoreblock that is open (visible) (or the standard scoreblock if you do not have any custom scoreblocks).

| Note
Bugs: Clicking (as opposed to using the arrow keys) in the LilyPond text does not move the cursor in the Denemo window. Moving the text cursor in a lyric (etc.) does not move the Denemo cursor, so you cannot easily see where in the music it comes. Inserting LilyPond text after last note of a movement has to be done in Denemo. When you delete a LilyPond directive textually you have to move the cursor to start re-inserting it. LilyPond notes cannot be parsed back in (would be useful for importing music from arbitrary LilyPond files). LilyPond inserts at notes can only be completely deleted in the Denemo window - inserts are not merged.

## Using the Denemo From the PC keyboard

### Note Entry

Basic Note entry is to type a number key 0-8 for the duration of the note followed by a letter key a-g for the note name. If the duration is the same as the last entered note then just the note name is needed. The duration can be dotted with the period key, and the octave adjusted with comma (for down) or apostrophe (for up).

When you append music by pressing a duration key you get a brown note, indicating a duration which has not been given a pitch. Once you have pressed a note-name it becomes that note printed in black. Prior to that it is a pure rhythm and will play back as a drum beat and will print as a space.

When not appending music, you need to use the shift key to insert a new note, or set the caps lock. So Shift-a inserts the note A etc. Plain "a" edits the note at the cursor to be an A. Likewise with the numeric keypad the Shift key can be used to insert a note duration, while the plain number keys edit the duration of the note at the cursor. (If you do not have a numeric keypad, you have to use Shift-0,1, etc to do insertion of a duration).

### Chord Entry

The standard keybinding for entering a note in a chord is the Insert key. This enters the note at the cursor position. There are also commands to enter a named note Alt-a, Alt-b... are the standard shortcuts for this.

### Inserting LilyPond Directives

Denemo allow you to insert LilyPond directives between notes, prefixing and postfixing the individual notes of a chord or the whole chord itself and at the start of each staff in a score and at the start of each score. This means that the score can be tailored to a great extent without ever resorting to editing LilyPond files themselves. (Re-loading from an edited LilyPond file is generally unsuccessful). These LilyPond directives are now just a special case of DenemoDirectives - see discussion elsewhere.

To put a LilyPond directive on an individual note of a chord, put the cursor on that note and invoke

- Other->AttachLilyToNote

To put a LilyPond directive between chords, place the cursor at the insertion point, and invoke

- Other->InsertLilyPond
Such a LilyPond insert can be locked, which means you will be warned if you try to delete it while you are deleting notes.

When you have inserted a LilyPond directive a green bar is printed at that point below the staff. In addition if you specify some display text it will be shown. If the LilyPond inserted is text to be printed above staff the notation ^text can be used. Denemo will show this text above the staff. Likewise, _text will cause text to be printed under the staff. If you wish to annotate your music use %text, which Denemo will print, but LilyPond will not (a newline character is automatically inserted for you to ensure this happens). LilyPond attached to chords or notes shows the display text only. The status bar also shows some of the information.

### Note and Rest Entry Toolbar

This toolbar can be used to enter notes using the mouse. It also shows what the prevailing duration is, that is what duration of note will be inserted when you press a note name key.

## Publishing

Creating paper scores with Denemo is done via an intermediate PDF file. Denemo takes care of this for you, provided you have set the name of a PDF view in the Preferences. Once this is done click on Print Preview, or Print Part, wait for LilyPond to typeset your score the PDF viewer will pop-up, and you can print using the facilities of that program.

| Note
LilyPond is quite slow - be patient!

## Advanced Features

### Musical Score that Do Things!

By saving a Denemo score with a script defined (in the script window) you can create music lessons, automatic midi player ... the possibilities are (literally) endless. When you open such a score, the script is run - it can take user input and manipulate the score, or do other actions as your fancy takes you.

There is a special score init.denemo that is run on startup. By editing this you can startup with whatever template and whatever actions you wish to be performed. If you set it to do something that quits Denemo, you may need to delete the file before using Denemo normally again. Your local init.denemo is stored in the directory .denemo/actions in your home directory.To create it put the script you want in the script window and use SaveAs selecting ~/.denemo/actions/init.denemo as your file to save to.

### Piano Staffs, Orchestral Scores etc

Piano staffs, and staff groups can be created using the context field of the score->properties dialog. You can set a piano staff within a staff group by setting successively the StartPiano and StartGroup contexts on a single staff, or more generally setting StartPiano, EndPiano on adjacent staffs within a staff group.

| Note
It is possible to set silly combinations – some will not print anything. Check that you have a Start and End staff for each type and that they are not miss-matched.

### Single Staff Polyphony

Denemo permits the use of mutiple staves for part work, as well as enabling multiple voices on a single staff. To add voices to the current staff do the following:

1. Go to the measure(s) where you want to add the second voice

2. Use Add Voice to Current Staff item.Then open the staff properties. This dialog box will appear.

3. If this is a different instrument than the other voice, open the instrument drop down list and choose the appropriate instrument. The default name for this voice should be ok.

4. Click Ok to close the dialog box.

5. To switch voices use VoiceDown, VoiceUp under staff menu. or using the keyboard shortcuts

   | Note
   The stem positioning positioning may not look correct in the Denemo window, but it will look correct in the printed output.

6. For every beat your voice is silent you need to add a null note, which is achieved with the following sequence of key strokes: 1. n puts you in null mode, 2. r toggles a rest 3. then type the rest value you need to add, with the appropriate key binding.

7. For the beats that contain notes just enter them as you would normally see section x.

   | Note
   If you choose not to enter rests in null mode the visual output will be the same but these notes will be heard during midi playback of your score.

8. To leave the new voice and return to the previous one type

.

### Entering Vocal Music

Choose Lyrics->Add Verse. You need to have the Lyrics View visible (see View menu). Each verse has a separate tab, with the current verse for the current staff being visible at any one time. Use -- to extend syllables over more notes (see LilyPond documentation).

### Entering Figured Bass

To enter figures choose Other->Insert/Enter figured bass. There are some shortcuts that enable all the work to be done with the numeric keypad. A brief summary is given by right clicking the option. The conventions are described in the LilyPond docs.

### Entering Chord Symbols

To enter chord symbols choose Other->Insert/Enter chord symbols. A brief summary is given by right clicking the option. The conventions are described in the LilyPond docs.

## Denemo Command Line Options

Denemo --help shows the options for opening particular files at startup.
