Thanks for the midish suggestion!

Frescobaldi is a great tool that I use almost daily. But once in a while 
there are situations where I prefer to use vim or gvim. I am on Linux 
Fedora, and have modified the ftplugin/lilpond.vim file to use another PDF 
viewer (evince instead of gv). Midish could be an alternative for 
Timidity. Jumping to a specified bar is especially useful for our purpose.

I will need to do some reading and studying to set up and configure the 
midishrc file to use fluidsynth as (virtual) MIDI soundmodule. (I 
currently don't own an external hardware GM compatible MIDI module or 
keyboard.)

If someone has already done a working configuration on Linux please share 
your settings and experiences here.
