Here is a copy of the email I sent about the meaning of denemo:


Denemo is a corruption of the French word dénouement. 

>From Wikipedia:

In literature, a dénouement (IPA:/deˈnuːmɑ̃/) consists of a series of
events that follow the climax of a drama or narrative, and thus serves
as the conclusion of the story.

I read once something from Matt Hiller once saying that many commercial
notation editors have a word that means something that comes at then end
like encore, finale etc ...  So he named it after the word dénouement.

So I guess the proper way to pronounce it would be:
day new mah

the mah would have a french ending like croissant. But it in the spirit
of linus torvald, "I don't care what you call just as long as you use
it."

I think it might be nice if the logo was somehow lilypond or french influenced.
