It is script, but I couldn't quite figure it out either.

Hmm, the only thing available in linux has died of bitrot years ago. (I 
tried to build scenic and was missing no longer maintained libs or libs 
where the new version was not compatible) If it was going to happen in two 
years... it would have already happened. This doesn't seem to be an itch 
for someone to make.

Alternative is Ipmidi. Qmidinet on Linux (works very well BTW), ipmidi on 
windows or Mac. ipMIDI seems to be free for Mac but not so free for 
windows ($80). (why anyone would charge only for the non-audio OS I don't 
know)

OSC bridge? MIDI->OSC -- net -- OSC->MIDI?
