recent midish versions can almost do that, but not with the
arrow keys, unfortunately. It's controlled from stdin,
supports start/stop and relocate (for rewind/fastforward).

ex:

        dnew 0 "28:0" wo # use 28:0 port for output
        import "myfile.mid" # import file to play
        p # play
        s # stop
        g 17 # go to measure #17

when you change the position, it restores the states of all
controllers and handles the note-off events of skipped
notes.

HTH,
