It gets stranger and stranger:

• start a new piece of music, and enter \cadenzaOn \cadenzaOff (no notes yet).
• click to place the cursor between the cadenza marks.
• cursor is now a green box with left-pointing arrow.
• type "22" : two crotchets (quarter-notes) appear.
• type "33" : two quavers appear, to the left of the crotchets.  Note entry appears to be backwards!
• place cursor between the crotchets and quavers (to ensure the cursor is not on a Denemo directive).  The leftmost crotchet is highlighted in green.
• type "-" : the rightmost quaver turns into a breve, and a semibreve appears to its right.
• type "-" again: another semibreve appears
• type "=" : the breve in the place of the original rightmost quaver turns into a longa and some space opens out to its right

I could make a screencast of this, but it would be far too large to post to the list.  Would it help to send it to you privately?
I hope I haven't done something crass and naive, but this behaviour does seem a bit buggy.
