Update: I found this (macOS) utility for playing MIDI files from the command line and it works great with Lilypond/Neovim!
https://ssb22.user.srcf.net/mwrhome/mac-midi.html
It's about a hundred lines of C, which means even if it's abandoned at some point I should be able to update it myself.
The problem with a lot of similar programs is they use e.g., fluidsynth, when what I want is to play the file back over the IAC bus into Max/MSP, SuperCollider/etc. This lets me choose the starting point in the MIDI file and easily play it into IAC from my terminal!
