Gub from today, but not latest git.

http://www.nilsgey.de/denemo-0.0.0-0.mingw.exe

Richard had problems to install it, but it worked for me. I also asked a friend 
to download it, too, and installation went well (technically).
Richard, maybe you had a corrupt download? Tried with a Download Manager?

Bad News:
In current state the Windowsversion is not usable.

Good things first: 
-Sound/Fluid worked out of the box. On my Windows (Inside a virtual maschine) 
it was distorted the usual way, but that is really really a low-spec system. On 
my friends pc it worked fine.

-The font is not installed or whatever: You see letters and symbols, but not 
Notation. Even after logging out and in it does not work.

-The paths are wrong. PDF Export and Print Preview leads to a straight crash 
out of the box. The standard lily-binary is "lilypond-windows" there. This 
seems to be wrong or not enough.

-Zoom does work, but only after restarting. This version did not have 
ctrl+wheel in it.


A General Note, for Windows and Linux:

There are many external apps defined in Denemos Preferences. Most of them seem 
to be useless or at least old and of hidden functionality. This leads to 
confusion.

Lilypond, PDF Viewer and Browser are of course needed and in use. Default Save 
path is good, too.

But Image Viewer, Text Editor, Midi Player and Audio Player seem to be useless 
now. I guess Image and Text are very old, and Midi and Audio are not needed 
anymore since we have Fluid and Jack.

Sidenote: What about C-Sound? Is anyone interested in this anymore? There is a 
C-Sound Dialog, quite prominently, in "Playback Properties". 

Playback Properties could be deleted and the only useful thing, the default 
midi playback tempo, can be moved to general prefs and please set to 120 
instead of 60.
