It's interesting that the website seems better than the average GNU project, notably the look and community parts.
However, I don't really get what it brings to the table compared to other LilyPond frontends like Frescobaldi or Laborejo. I'd love to be enlightened on that part :)

As a GNU Octave dev, it makes me feel sad that "GNU" no longer has the cachet that it had in the 90's and early 00's. It went from being a mark of quality to being outdated, disorganised, and lunatic.
Oh well. I still support GNU. Hopefully you'll like the new GNU Octave web design we're working on.
Denemo seems to offer more "direct" input methods for easily transcribing music. The program can listen to rhythms and pitches separately and combine them, rendering the result with Lilypond (or, at least, that was all I was able to figure out before the site went down). It seems like a neat, light-weight tool which one could preferably use when transcribing music. For serious typesetting, Frescobaldi, http://musescore.org/ or http://abjad.mbrsi.org/ are probably better choices. Anyway, it's great to see yet another application tapping into Lilypond. So much work and knowledge has gone into that project.
As a hobby pianist trying to relearn some music, I was looking at Denemo, Frescobaldi, etc the other day. But I ultimately realized that I prefer a simple text based solution, because I can use a text editor rather than learning a complicated new GUI.
I ended up writing a simple wrapper around JFugue in Scala (about 10 lines of code). I write the composition in a text file using a text editor and then run it through the scala script.

On a personal technical side, I'm not really a fan of using GTK3 for crossplatform UIs (I've had my share of pain with it, like many people), and I don't really like the absenc of folders/hierarchy in the src folder (http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/denemo.git/tree/src) or the fact that the NEWS file is outdated (http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/denemo.git/tree/NEWS)
