You can take the portable version of Denemo on a USB stick and run the
program anywhere (well, I just tried the public library), so you
wouldn't have to try to transfer the file format. Since Denemo is only
a front end for LilyPond you *must* be able to do the same with that...
(Denemo bundles the current LilyPond stable so that everything is self-
contained). You could work at the university on one of their computers
and then return home with your work on a USB stick and continue at
home.
