I am using Linux Mint LMDE and am looking for a programme to create code
for LilyPond. Found Denemo which gave some hope when I read the
description. So to investigate it I installed it, first from the Mint
distribution, as usual a wee old, version 0.9.2, but it gave a hint of
the behaviour of the programme.
Then I saw an info about some new properties, among others that, to let
a facsimile image serve as a template when typing the notes. So I loaded
and installed the latest version 1.1.8. Looked nice, a wee newer
appearance, but mainly the same. Started to read the manual. Seems good,
not too difficult. So I try. On my screen Denemo occupies one half, and
on the other I have an image from a pdf file, shown via the document
viewer Atril. Well, looking up "Movements" - - "Capture Measures
(Score)" and a click on the left button of the mouse. Nothing happens.
Tries the alternative "Staffs/Voices" - "Capture Score" - "Capture
Measures (one staff", still no reaction. Starts reading again, and find
that a new window should pop up, but that does not happen. So what could
be the error? I have done the install procedure twice without any
difference, first I did put the programme in the directory
/usr/local/..., well I had to change a few lines at the top of the start
file "Launch_Denemo.sh" but then it worked fine except for the above
mentioned lack of functionality. So I installed it again, now completely
in my user area /home/XXX, however still no reaction, no window pops up.
So I tried the alternative, to load a PDF directly ("File" - "Open" -
"Open Source for Transcribing"), and now things happen. The programme
crashes completely. Disappears from the screen, leaving no trace. Must
be restarted.
Well, I have come to the end of the road, and I do not know what to do
next. I have been looking for and in log files, but no trace anywhere.
So does anybody have a hint of the reason or further investigation?
