Without media-libs/portmidi installed, playback fails. It is enough to add it to the dependencies (maybe behind a "+midi" use flag?). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install frescobaldi and ensure that portmidi is not installed 2. Start a midi synth (e.g. fluidsynth via qsynth) 3. Try to play something Actual Results: Frescobaldi complains about missing portmidi libraries. Expected Results: Playback should start.
You mean it works with portmidi installed? Given the python bindings are gone from that package, it shouldn't be enough. However, dev-python/pygame provides an alternative to that and afaik it's what needs to be installed (it also depends on portmidi).
Ah nevermind, it should work with just portmidi, I hadn't noticed the "last resort" third alternative. * For MIDI the PortMidi library is used, either via importing 'pypm', 'pyportmidi._pyportmidi', or, if that is not available, loading the pygame.pypm module from pygame; or, as a last resort, embedding the PortMidi C-library via ctypes. For example, under Debian/Ubuntu, `sudo apt install python3-pygame`, and on Fedora, `sudo dnf install python3-pygame`.
(given it's a small dependency, I think I might just hard-depend on it so runtime works as expected)

Please also CC me for downstream bugs for now, haven't added myself as maintainer given may not handle this package long term (just trying to get it in a good state to be easier to handle for other maintainers). If no major issues, hoping to stabilize before the py3.13 target switch in May (3.13 is not on 3.3.0, untested) and soon follow that by 3.3.0 removal to allow pyqtwebengine (Qt5) cleanup.
