    Frescobaldi 3 (without Rumor) also supports MIDI input.

Yes, but it only gets the notes.  Rumor will also capture durations.  From 
reading the Frescobaldi docs, there used to be a Rumor plugin.  Now it appears 
we no longer have a Rumor plugin, but the base MIDI input ignores durations.

Is there a way to get durations off a MIDI keyboard in Frescobaldi?

Thanks,

Carl

    You should thank Dan Eble for all the work on the Docker container.
    I think you can just add the rumor package in the Dockerfile and build 
    the image.
