I see that the fonts are small. I LibreOffice I used only the denemo 
font at size 22. I am attaching a pdf. Can we just tell denemo to render 
the fonts larger? Are we using more fonts other then Denemo.ttf?

Would we then increase the rest of the fonts also like "a-z, A-Z 0123.. 
etc..."

I noticed the larger rests with more flags are positioned a little bit 
lower then the other rests. The same is not true when it comes to the 
notes.

Is this entirely the denemo font?
