The symptoms you are describing indicate that working back from the
note in the pdf to the Denemo Display is not working.

1) What is the output on the terminal when you try to click on a note
in the Print View? 
2) When you hover over a title does a link (starting Scheme: ...)
appear?
3) When you hover over a note does a link (starting textedit:// ...)
appear? (see attached)

what version of LilyPond are you using? (In the Scheme window execute

(d-InfoDialog (d-GetLilyVersion))

to get that.

If the link appears in (3) above, open the file in /tmp that is
specified in the link and look at the line and column number indicated
to see if it is the right place (send the file and link text if you
don't read LilyPond syntax at all).
