amidi uses hardware ports, not sequencer ports.
They look like
dak@lola:/usr/local/tmp/lilypond$ amidi -l
Dir Device Name
IO hw:1,0,0 UM-4 MIDI 1
IO hw:1,0,1 UM-4 MIDI 2
IO hw:1,0,2 UM-4 MIDI 3
IO hw:1,0,3 UM-4 MIDI 4

I have no idea why you would not use 32:0 if the BCR2000 is explicitly
listed as such. However, again those are sequencer ports, not hardware
ports.
On my system, I'd see
dak@lola:/usr/local/tmp/lilypond$ aconnect -i -o
client 0: 'System' [type=kernel]
0 'Timer '
1 'Announce '
client 14: 'Midi Through' [type=kernel]
0 'Midi Through Port-0'
client 20: 'UM-4' [type=kernel,card=1]
0 'UM-4 MIDI 1 '
1 'UM-4 MIDI 2 '
2 'UM-4 MIDI 3 '
3 'UM-4 MIDI 4 '
But I would not use 20:0 for amidi but rather hw:1,0,0 . "UM-4 MIDI 1"
doesn't work either: it's just there for informational purposes.
dak@lola:/usr/local/tmp/lilypond$ amidi -p 20:0 -d
ALSA lib rawmidi.c:286:(snd_rawmidi_open_noupdate) Unknown RawMidi 20:0
cannot open port "20:0": No such file or directory
dak@lola:/usr/local/tmp/lilypond$ amidi -p hw:1,0,0 -d
^C
0 bytes read
dak@lola:/usr/local/tmp/lilypond$ amidi -p "UM-4 MIDI 1" -d
ALSA lib rawmidi.c:286:(snd_rawmidi_open_noupdate) Unknown RawMidi UM-4 MIDI 1
cannot open port "UM-4 MIDI 1": No such file or directory
