Thanks, I've build the latest version, and used it a bit so far, and I like it a lot,
it does indeed do pretty much what I want.
It looks like it could also do a lot of useful stuff, but I find it bewildering and the
documentation not quite complete.
A few questions, if I may?
1) How do you get it to pause? Not stop, which is "s", and then it resets the
position back to zero, but just momentarily pause and keep the position at wherever it is
at?
2) How can I route output to a different channel when I'm *playing* a MIDI file? I
found documentation on how to route and filter when recording, but I need to do the
filtering/routing at playback time.
3) Is there any rudimentary editing capability? i.e., cut the file keeping only events
from range X-Y and J-K?
I'd also like to try out Julien's modified C++ version of it too.
Thanks to you and Julien for reccommending midish.

I'd love to find a command-line MIDI file
player that will
use ALSA MIDI (not its own internal synth), and also will
accept arrow keys or some other key commands on stdin to
fastforward, rewind, pause, play, etc.
recent midish versions can almost do that, but not with the
arrow keys, unfortunately. It's controlled from stdin,
supports start/stop and relocate (for rewind/fastforward).
ex:
dnew 0 "28:0" wo # use 28:0 port for output
import "myfile.mid" # import file to play
p # play
s # stop
g 17 # go to measure #17
when you change the position, it restores the states of all
controllers and handles the note-off events of skipped
notes.
