  GNU LilyPond - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
GNU LilyPond is a free software program for engraving sheet music.
In LilyPond, notes are entered in note, pitch and length format; pitch is represented with series of single quotes or commas, each representing an octave up or down from the base.
In absolute mode, note pitches are always given, for each note, relative to the base; in relative move, when the melody stays within limits, notes with unspecified pitch are assumed to be "near" the last note and pitch markers are only used when the interval between the preceding note is more than a forth.

Of course, the problem I wanted to solve wasn't that of typesetting music - the Lilypond team is already doing an excellent job solving that problem - but that of presenting a graphical interface for composers to work with.
As such, Denemo is designed simply to be a graphical interface for entering and editing music, and serves as a frontend to Lilypond by producing output that Lilypond can then typeset.
Like Lilypond, it is free software licensed under the GNU General Public License, and, in fact, was accepted as an official part of the GNU project in April 2000.
