The main plugin class has a readScore function.

You can use cmd in a plugin to issue many MS commands, including play.

So maybe you can combine these – probably closing scores after playback, although I'm not sure that the plugin API can report "end of playback" so you might need to set a timer to close the score after its playback duration.

Here's a starting point for development:

You may be able to define playlists of scores for your plugin to load.
