The problem is your first line -- r8. e'2 is not a full measure.  LilyPond
only breaks lines at the end of a measure.

If you remove all of the % signs before the | characters, LilyPond will do
measure checks and will give warnings that the bar check failed, which will
make it easier to figure this kind of problem out.

I'm not sure how you got the rhythmic errors in dynamo, but there are
multiple rhythmic errors.  I've highlighted a couple of them below.

This measure only has 2 3/4 beats (in 4/4 time)

This measure has 5 beats.

This measure has 6 beats (it's actually two measures -- lilypond will handle
it, but it means the measure counts in the comments (%15) are off.

I don't use Denemo, so I don't know how these errors came to be.  But I can
see why LilyPond put all your music on one line.
