Denemo would need more work on the MIDI generation to make this
attractive - the MIDI playback is there just to check (by ear) that the
notes are correct. Even this is incomplete - it does not play grace
notes. 
There will be other possible uses for Denemo - particularly music
analysis (we have a routine that checks a composition for consecutives
already), and I hope people will develop these. I was thinking about
things that Denemo could be recommended for right now. Right now it is
strongest at entering music quickly, accurately, and musically, and
delivering a high quality printed score without manual tweaks to the
appearance (thanks to LilyPond). I don't know how it compares with other
programs for playing along with the playback...
