Get Denemo - Denemo

There are several ways to get Denemo.

Current stable version:0.8.18

GNU/Linux

Some Distributions provide Denemo-packages. Mostly they are not up-to-date. Don't use a version below 0.8.10
0.8.18 Sourcecode.
- See the Guide to Compiling. Basically use sh autogen.sh && ./configure && make && make install (after unpacking).
A snapshot tarball of the source, generated on-the-fly from our GITs master-branch.

Download Win32 Installer
- Note this installer includes LilyPond, a built-in sampler, soundfonts and everything you need. It is about 50MB in size.
- If you previously installed Denemo you should either delete the folder ".denemo" in your home directory, or (if you have customized it) edit the preferences. The lilypond path should now be denemo-lilypond and the pdf reader should be left blank.
- Do not try the direct Print command, instead use Print Preview and print from your pdf viewer.
- You may need to tweak the sample-rate and period-size to avoid distorted MIDI playback. Higher values are safer but add more latency. 1024 or 2048 are "safe" values.
- Note that automatic update from internet is not available in windows - you will need to ftp new commands if you need them.
- Upload of your scripts to denemo.org is not possible on windows.
- Re-boot your computer after installation. Or at least, logout and back in. Otherwise, mysteriously, the music font does not show.
Building from source for win32 is tricky. Some notes BuildingForWindows are available.

We currently do not provide Mac OSX releases. You can use the MacPorts third-party build.

Use Git to check out the current code. Most of the time it is as stable as the releases (but both are still in beta). Command:

git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/denemo.git

cd denemo
sh autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-jack
make

make install
