Hola Pablo,
I assume you don't use Frescobaldi. For playing back midis I use that (even
though I don't compose there). In all my composing projects I have a midi.ly
file with a score block that only produces midi (only a midi block with no
layout block), and uses also the articulate script. You just need to have
include files for everything you do and recompile the midi.ly file in
Frescobaldi everytime you want to hear the changes (and this recompilation
takes a matter of miliseconds!).
The midi.ly file can look as simple as
\include "articulate.ly"
\score {
\new StaffGroup
\unfoldRepeats \articulate <<
\include "staff1.ily"
\include "staff2.ily
>>
\midi {}
}
I hope it helps!
—Martín.
