I was thinking it probably did.

I noticed there was a print interface documented in gtk on the web, but
strangely it is absent from the downloaded docs.
I think a portable solution is a must though, and (if we knew how) it
must surely be quite straight forward. We could look in the source code
of evince/gn etc? It is not something I will be working on at the
moment, as I don't have a printer; my next priorities would be:
         1) detecting out of range notes (unplayable on the given
instrument),
which is something I hit up against while doing arrangements. (I have in
mind a Find routine that finds notes (>, < or = to a given note), which
would be a start.)
         2) And, storing more than one movement in one denemo file: each
of
these movements would be what denemo currently calls a DenemoScore; we
did have this for a while, though I don't remember if they printed out
as a suite of movements in LilyPond. I'm fairly sure this can be done
easily, and then we will get continuous page numbering for an entire
sonata, for example, which helps a lot if the pages get scattered all
over the floor!

But if you are happy that Denemo is now in good shape (my only
reservation is the DeleteMeasure thing, which as I have said probably
has coredumps lurking somewhere in it) I think we should go for a
Release.
If anyone knows any cause or impediment, let them speak now!
