yes, Denemo's audio out has only been developed sufficiently for
checking that the pitches and durations sound ok - it doesn't even do
grace notes, which is one thing I would fix if I had time. It does have
a a few other things which people have developed over the years, such
as some dynamics, but for my use I had to add a switch to force full-
volume output to prevent it distracting from listening for errors in
the pitches/durations, which is what I use it for.
Denemo can actually switch to using LilyPond's MIDI output - see
Playback View, but it will be messy trying to control that further from
inside Denemo - it is there for people wanting to play along to a
scrolling properly typeset score.
