You could launch timidity automatically on login or startup. A feature
to auto-start-up a MIDI soft-synth from inside Frescobaldi is under
consideration.

You can enter only the first part of a MIDI port name:

e.g. simply "Timidity" which then will select the first available port
with that name. (The What's This info in the dialog tells that.)

But it would not be difficult at all to support e.g. pyrtmidi instead
of portmidi. Even supporting both would be possible.

Thanks for the positive feedback!!
