Denemo works by relying on LilyPond to typeset the music to perfection. Those with LilyPond skills will tweak the output via text, but for some things Wysywyg would be a Good Idea. For example, it can be slow and non-obvious tweaking the position of a rehearsal mark by trying out offset values even when your LilyPond knowledge extends to knowing the unit used for the offsets (staff-line-spacing is the unit in that case, I think).
It is also the case that some activities, like deciding on where to force a line or page break are more naturally done while looking at the final typeset view. At present, you look at the place in the pdf where you want a break click on a note and use apply the page or line break command to the Denemo display window. (Up to now, point-and-click has not been reliable because of some bugs which I have just fixed, but that was the principle). I have just checked into git some code that illustrates these ideas. Rehearsal Marks can be moved and a few sample commands have been added if you click on a note in the print view. The interface needs refining, but I would appreciate some feedback on what's possible and desirable. In particular, it should be possible to re-shape slurs and ties to avoid bad shapes which can happen sometimes, with Denemo displaying the curve interactively as you move the control points and then LilyPond re-typesetting when done.
