Denemo's make does not attempt to install LilyPond. I think (in fact I
am sure, it has to be so) Denemo by default looks for lilypond.exe in
the $PATH
Only if you set the pref will it look elsewhere.
Beware that once Denemo has been run it has written your preferences to
disk at ~/.denemo-1.2.5, so you need to remove this for a clean
re-start.
