In my opinion Denemo should work with a system installation of lilypond.
Maybe a user wants to use a new feature of the development version of
lilypond, or I can imagine several other reasons. Why don't you get the
system lilypond version on startup of Denemo, using "lilypond
--version", and store it in a variable?
