I found it. The composer name had an " inside. Go again to Score -> Titles etc. and choose composer and delete the complete thing which is in there and write a new one. This is probably not your fault. Denemo is very picky when it comes to meta-data. We currently just forward a string to lilypond. It still needs manual escaping.
I postponed this because I wanted to write a complete meta-data window once we have more Scheme-GTK, which did not happen yet.
