Thinking about this, there is a way within Denemo to export score and
parts for the current score, but it is rather strange: you tell Denemo
to export each PDF at intervals, allowing time for the typesetting to
be done before the next one fires off. Here's a script that does that

8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8>

(let ((filename (d-Open "query=filename"))(numstaffs (d-GetStaffsInMovement)))
    (if filename
        (let ((incr (d-GetUserInput (_ "Export PDF score and parts") (_ "Give 
estimated time for typesetting (secs): ") "5")))
            (if (and incr (string->number incr))
                (begin
                    (set! incr (* 1000 (string->number incr)))
                    (set! filename (substring filename 0 (- (string-length 
filename) 7))) ;strip .denemo extension
                    (d-SelectDefaultLayout)
                    (d-ExportPDF (string-append filename "-Score.pdf"))        
                    (let loop ((time incr)(num 1))
                        (define name (string-append filename "-part-" 
(number->string num) ".pdf"))
                        (d-GoToPosition 1 num 1 1)
                        (if (not (d-IsVoice))
                            (d-OneShotTimer time (string-append 
"(d-GoToPosition 1 " (number->string num) " 1 1) 
(d-LilyPondForPart)(d-ExportPDF \"" name "\")"))
                            (set! time (- time incr)))
                        (if (< num numstaffs)
                            (loop (+ time incr) (1+ num)))))))
        (d-WarningDialog  (_ "The score does not have a file name. Save the 
score first."))))

If you put this in a command, or a palette button you could add the
following refinement: before each typeset *execute any scheme in the
Scheme Window*. The point of doing that would be to do things like
changing the score size for the Default Score Layout.

The code to execute the script in the Scheme Window is this:

(eval-string (d-GetSchemeText))

however you will cause an infinite loop if you put this into the above
script and execute it from the Scheme Window, so put the script into a
command or button before executing it if you add that expression to the
script.
