That is true of most modes, but not edit mode. You can type in duration followed by note name octave sharp/flat dots when you are appending in edit mode. Whether this would be a pleasant system to use I am not sure.

Your script:

(d-CursorLeft)
(d-ToggleEdit)
(d-OctaveUp)
(d-ToggleEdit)
(d-CursorRight)
would do something unexpected if you were already in Edit mode - but it would be ok if you never did mode switching. (We need a command to interrogate the mode - it is lacking at present).

You would re-bind comma and single quote to the new commands, I guess. Give it a try. The original Classic mode was intended to be as close to typing in LilyPond as text as possible, I think. But if you can do better...

Another simple-to-script feature request:
In Lilypond relative mode, the , or ' keys modify the note already entered; in Denemo as it stands now, these keys jump the cursor to modify the NEXT note entered.
Also, it's a frequent problem that a note I just entered was in the wrong octave, and it's time-consuming to delete it, jump and octave, and then re-insert it.
So, why not add commands (I called them PostOctaveUp and PostOctaveDown) that raise or lower the previous note by 1 octave? It seems to me it would be more intuitive and quicker to use for many people and should be available pre-scripted.
It can be scripted like this:
(d-CursorLeft)
(d-ToggleEdit)
(d-OctaveUp)
(d-ToggleEdit)
(d-CursorRight)
