Denemo was defaulting to \tempo = 0 which gives a floating point
exception in some LilyPonds. I think I reported it, and I fixed it (or
perhaps a re-incarnation of it) recently. We could enclose the \midi
section in {%uncomment for midi     %} so that it would be easy for
people who wanted to turn it on to do so.
