Man oh man! I was launching windows just for that during a lot of times.

I second. And Wine wasn't really helpful. To tell the truth, I have no luck with wine, even launching notepad.exe fails :((
I even tried launching an atari emulator. But I don't find anymore my old Band-in-the-Box atari diskettes 8P

Neither was I able to make it work.
The abc2midi program (http://abc.sourceforge.net/abcMIDI/) has an interesting function: if you feed it with chords, it is able to give you a (very basic) piano playing (fundamental note, three/four notes chords, fundamental note, three/four notes chords, on each beat of the measure). Quite funny and interesting to have an idea of the music, but not suitable at all for personal technical rehearsals.

As I'm not a programmer, I apologize for throwing here what can be an out-of-reach or stupid idea. But I was thinking to myself that abc2midi could be a good start to make a command-line bbox. 
Anyway I'm gonna try once again Ryth(M)aid and if I succeed I will give news here.
