Keep in mind that Lilypond is a language and not an editor. Some other
tools like the ones you mentioned are used to help in writing lily files
through graphical interfaces. Thus midi playback depends on then.

I tried noteedit which can play notes as you type. Unfortunately
generated lily files are not up to date with the last Lilypond version.
Sometimes convert-ly helps.

So as far as I know the fastest way to get a playback is to write a
macro for your favorite text editor which compiles your source to a midi
file and plays it.
