I got as far as you did with it.  In order to play a midi file you need to 
put it somewhere under a certain name, I think.   I was able to look at 
icons for various musical notations.  It does not seem to require 16-bit 
(or any) color, or a mouse, just minimal X11.

I thought OS 9 was Mac.  What is MM/1?

Have you also tried Rosegarden?  I am missing one X library for it.
