rumor doesn't add the music into Lilypond files, as I understand it, but

use rumor in a Docker container, and paste the results of a rumor run into a
Frescobaldi window.

Did you try to just compile it on OSX?
Yes, I tried to just compile it on OSX. But I couldn't even get it to
configure. I think it's because I likely don't have autotools installed.
Carls-MBP:rumor-1.0.5 carlsorensen$ ./autogen.sh
./autogen.sh: line 2: aclocal: command not found
./autogen.sh: line 3: autoheader: command not found
./autogen.sh: line 4: automake: command not found
./autogen.sh: line 5: autoconf: command not found
I believe that if I install MacPorts, I will get the autotools installed. I'm
not sure if that will happen if I install Homebrew.
I've had some problems in the past with clashes between MacPorts and Homebrew,
so I'm a bit skittish about installing either of those package managers without
having a clear vision forward of how to get to my end goal.
I see it depends on guile-2.0 (that might be a conflict with LilyPond, but
you can probably have several versions installed) and ALSA (which is also not
available on MacPorts, and I don’t know if it would work on OSX, since it
probably conflicts with the sound drivers of macOS).
I guess an additional problem might be that Apple severely restricts
hardware access, e.g. I can’t access USB-Serial for programming
microcontrollers, because Apple only allows signed drivers on current systems,
even while there’s no driver necessary. Don’t know if that applies to ALSA or
USB-MIDI, but I suppose.
I have been able to access USB-Serial for programming microcontrollers on my
system, but maybe it's because I'm using signed drivers....
Thanks,
Carl
