Hi Stephen,
My denemo isn't installed. Richard will have to reply
I use the non-installed development version, currently at
http://www.denemo.org/~jjbenham/mxe/denemo.zip
<http://www.denemo.org/~jjbenham/mxe/denemo.zip>
If I install a new version, I always get a prompt about keeping previous
Commands etc I almost always keep them.
Sorry, I don't know what extra ramifications there are from installing
it, other than the ability to double-click the .denemo file and running
denemo from there.
What I actually do is to rename the download with a date name, e.g.
Den20Mar, and expand it to the desktop when it appears in a folder of
that name, including a denemo folder, including the denemo.bat file. And
I run denemo from there. It allows me to keep as up-to date as I need
and I always keep one backup - the previous working version.
with best wishes
Joe

Thank you both for your prompt response to my issue. As of this
morning whenever I start Denemo it opens the last project along with
the Print View window with the error message. I close the print view
window. Open a new file. Create a simple scale, invoke Typeset Music
from the menu bar, the Print view window opens empty and then
populates with the error message.
I can appreciate that poking around the command buttons may have
changed a setting that may be causing the problem. I have reinstalled
the app on the primary drive of my Windows 10 machine and, as
prompted, did not restore previous settings or preferences. I start up
the app and it immediately looks for the last file worked on.
I then copied the denemo-2.5.0.zip file to another hard drive on my
machine, and to my disappointment when it opened it did not open with
a new file and empty Print Window screen, it opened with the last file
from the previous install and the same error message. Registry values
are persisting. I don't see any uninstall feature, or a restore to
default settings feature that might save the day.
I don't have great demands for the app. I want to enter simple vocal
staffs to learn to sing some of new hymns from my Christian Prayer
book. It has an index of 188 hymns and I have been singing the same 40
or so for the last 20 years and would like to learn some of the
unfamiliar ones.
Again any help would be appreciated. See the simple screen captures below.

I think Stephen is saying his is an initial test file, just a
scale. In
fact the most basic test of your setup is to do
File->New
and then typeset. You should get a single staff with a single bar with
treble clef and common time signature, the bar being empty.
I really think I should put a check on start up that executing
LilyPond
will work...
If you are testing real music where you may have inadvertently entered
something crazy then (after Check Score) the best place to look is the
LilyPond window. After a right-click typeset in that window the
message
pane at the bottom should give some clue (as well as the highlighting
in red of the offending text).
