To further anwer your request: take care that Denemo imports/exports in 
correctly.

The one thing I consider important is compatibility. With Rosegarden I 
can input a score or import a .mid, export it as a .ly-file or as .mid. 
With Lilypond I can export as .pdf, .ps or .mid, of which the latter can 
be imported into Rosegarden. With Hydrogen I can export as .mid .wav and 
.h2song and import all of these into Rosergarden.

They all work together because of resonably standard formats. I don't 
know about Denemo and its XML file format and I haven't tried its 
midi-import result, but for me the combination 
Rosegarden/Hydrogen/Lilypond works and that's all I need.

I am only a home-musician having some fun recording some stuff. I use 
Linux because I refuse to be locked into a proprietry platform. And I 
really mean "use", as I am no geek or programmer. If it works out of the 
box I use it, otherwise there has to be a real itch before I investigate 
further. As I wrote before, Denemo doesn't work out of the box, I have 
what I need, so no need to check it out further. That doesn't mean I am 
opposing Denemo, as I am sure there are people who find it a valuable 
program. It simply isn't me. HTH, --Hans
