Midi output works fine for me.
I did not play with settings so far...
For midi ports, I have
Output reader = TiMidity port 0
Entry port = Midi Through Port-0
You did not have to play with the settings probably because you
already had timidity installed and running as a service in background.
More information on MIDI playback is in the wiki:
https://github.com/frescobaldi/frescobaldi/wiki/MIDI-playback-on-Linux
The only thing : If I just press the button
(whatever it is called in English, in French, it says "graver")
it does not save ouput. I have to save the Lilypond file also to
get PDF and midi output.
This is a common misunderstanding.
There's an option in the Preferences to autosave the file when you
click on Engrave button.
Perhaps the default should be the opposite of what it is now.
I think I made this suggestion on some Github issue.
