All of Csound is re-entrant (ie. allows multiple
instances). The only problems is portmidi, which
csound uses (in some platforms) for realtime
MIDI input. Portmidi is not re-entrant. But
as far as I know  midi file input is handled
by Csound itself (someone correct me if I am
wrong).

A midi file reader opcode however is a good idea.
Would anyone like to step in and do it?
