Hello,
Does anyone know how to tell fluidsynth to start playing at a certain
point in the file? By time or even midi ticks?
I use fluidsynth as standalone midi player because I need no daemon
running and can give the soundfont in the commandline, so trying out
different soundfonts is very easy.
If not I would like to hear about your midi player solutions. The less
config files and servers, the more I can set parameters directly on
the command line, the better.

Hello Nils!
I don't think, that this is possible with fluidsynth alone. From what I know
of its direct playing capabilities, it was more a nice feature for listening
5to a song directly, than to use it as a real sequencer.
I'd suggest midish. It is interactive with a shell. It has a config file.
but rmidish is justa frontend to midish itself. so you could just use midishy
- a server - and send "shell commands" to it, overriding every setting from a
config-file. Same goes for rmidish's commandline. You can enter all the
commands to configure midish.
I think this might be the slimmest commandline solution with the most power
available. I don't know, if you could teach aplaymidi to play from a certain
position, same for Timidity. But then timidity itself is rather big and can
play soundfonts itself, but it has the big config file, which has to be
changed.
Find the midish porject here:

And its full and very helpful manual here:

I hope this helps.
Warm regards
Julien

One thing Timidity has is the ncurses interface which has keyboard
short-cuts for seeking in the file, pause, opening other files and
others (it is opened with -in switch). Also the soundfont for timidity
can be set at runtime with:
-x'soundfont mysoundfont.sf2'
But If I understand correctly what you would like is to also specify the
'timestamp' at the command line something like the -ss switch in mplayer
and AFAIK none of the mentioned players do it.
