Which version do you have? Version 2.0.6 is just out and the latest manual is always at http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=denemo.git;a=blob_plain;f=docs/denemomanual.pdf;hb=HEAD > and haven't found a way > through experimentation to do: > > 1.

If you haven't found *any* of these I suspect you are using an ancient version of Denemo.

Let me know if there is something specific missing or if you need help with LilyPond syntax stuff.
