**************************************************

This documentation was generated for Rumor 1.0.5 at 15 June 2014.

   Rumor is a realtime monophonic (with chords) MIDI keyboard to
Lilypond converter.  It receives MIDI events, quantizes them according
to its metronome on the fly and outputs handwritten-like corresponding
Lilypond notation.  Tempo, meter, key and other parameters can be set
via command-line options (*note Invocation::).

Last time I tried any of the sites specific to rumor itself, they were
all dead.  But the Debian package exists.
