The file has now arrived on the mailing list.
I've tested out the .denemo file attached to it.
The full score typesets with error messages in the LilyPond window:

The first message is about your lyrics - I'm not an expert on LilyPond
lyric syntax - you have doubled hyphens and doubled underscores - should
these be doubled? Should not the hyphens be attached to the previous
syllable (i.e. no space)?

The second message says you have a decr start with no decr end later.

The last message is for part writing, where you have more than one rest
at one moment and have not specified which voice they are in, or if they
are to be combined (see Staffs/Voices->Voices menu).

However, these are all just Warning messages, and so you *do* get a
typeset score.

Putting the cursor in the top staff in the Denemo Display and clicking
Part in the Print View also typesets with warning, attached is the PDF
created by clicking the PDF button. The LilyPond window shows the
following warnings in the lower pane in this case:

the cursor does indeed move to the first of these warnings at Staff 1,
bar 15 on the last note. And indeed the crescendo between the d'4 (which
is a d 1/4) note and the following  ees''8 (an e-flat 1/8th) note is
rendered as a squashed up line. LilyPond is not clever enough to fix
this for you by giving extra space.
Searching in the View->Command Center for "cres" I came to

Command: Lengthen Hairpin
Inserts a directive to lengthen the following cresc or dim hairpin.
Location: ObjectMenu->NotesRests->Markings->Dynamics
Internal Name: LengthenHairpin

which may help in this situation.

I also put the cursor in the Soprano staff and clicked Part in the Print
View - this typeset without warning messages - as it involves those __
and -- in the lyrics I guess they are all right - the "warning:
unterminated hyphen; removing" message above must refer to some other
verse.
