Hi,

To use timidity you'll have to install sound samples as well eg. 
audio/eawpatches.

In solfege under File->Preferences->Sound Setup(tab)

Select use external midi player.

Under Fie->Preferences->External Programs(tab)

Look in the section Audio file players

Where it says MIDI: midiplay - use the drop down control to select timidity.



solfege should now work with timidity and dev/audio.



FWIW: a kernel from current would use midiplay also with a speaker(4) device.


Best regards,

Nat
