It often does not succeed on .ly files from elsewhere. If there are a
lot of notes it might be worth cutting and pasting them into a file that
denemo can read.
Denemo does actually manage to open the example you give, but as it
doesn't understand the \relative command the notes are generally in the
wrong octave. 
The rhythm is all there though, so if you have a midi keyboard you could
play the notes in at full speed (using the Advance On Edit mode) and the
right pitches would be put onto the rhythms.
