Two octaves would be 15; try this (lilypond only, don't know about denemo.):

\score {
        \notes {
        \property Staff.clefGlyph = #"clefs-G"

        % two octaves = 2* 7 steps = 14
        \property Staff.clefOctavation = #-14

        % two octaves = 2 * 8 - 1 = 15
        \property Staff.OctavateEight \override #'text = #"15"
        c8
        }
}
