Hello, I think I have the same problem in Denemo 2.5.3 installed from
source using Lilypond 2.22. I'm using it on Lubuntu 20.04 running in
VirtualBox on a Mac.
If it helps, here's my results.
1) No output, but after adding any note in Denemo, the terminal shows
'Denemo - WARNING : Lilypond did not end successfully: Child process
exited with code 1
Running lilypondLog level set to 287'. The Print View updates correctly.
2. Yes, the link appears.
3. Yes, I got a link.
4. In the Denemo print view my first note is at position 10, while
when I open the Lilypond file the first note is at position 0, i.e.
21:9:10 in Denemo vs. 21:9:0 in the Lilypond file.
Cheers,
Lib
