Perfect: that's what I want

No, I can't see any text cursor: I must "guess" it and click often.
It would be nice to have it fixed, because this is a really nice feature.

It's the latter.
Now I understand: if you use File>Export as>PDF, the default layout will 
be automatically used.
If you want to print a customized layout, you must use View>Score 
layout, choose the custom layout and click Typeset. Then print to PDF.

Anyway, I can see that the main view in Denemo doesn't reflect the changes.
Even if I do a simple change in View>Lilypond, such as:
\set Score.markFormatter = #format-mark-box-numbers

The PDF is correct but Denemo keeps showing the letter instead of box 
number.
