Might be that I simply don't understand (quite a new one with Csound). I understood from the explanation that with -F the behaviour is the same as if the midi-events would come from a real midi-source. Also that the timing of the events when executed correspond to the (relative) time points in the midi-file.
My environment is
- XUbuntu 22.04 with Ubuntu Studio installation. 
--Csound version 6.17 (double samples) 2022-04-08
        libsndfile-1.0.31

I have a simple midi-test-file with a few midiCC's.
The piece of simple test csd-code that prints information (taken from some example case) looks like this:

  sr = 44100
  ksmps = 441
  nchnls = 2
  0dbfs = 1
...

  instr 1

  kStatus, kChan, kData1, kData2 midiin

  if kStatus != 0 then ;print if any new MIDI message has been received
    printk 0, kStatus
    printk 0, kChan
    printk 0, kData1
    printk 0, kData2

  endif
  endin

From sr and ksmps values it follows that kr = 100 (10ms).
Csound works with no problems and gives the expected output, e.g:
 ...
i   1 time     5.95000:   176.00000
 i   1 time     5.95000:     1.00000
 i   1 time     5.95000:    40.00000
 i   1 time     5.95000:    51.00000
 ...

That looks also correct. The time points in [s] look correct and also the interpretation of the events is OK.The only problem is with the timing of the
realtime-events. 
As you can see in the example above, that event in question should happen in real-time at about 6 s from the beginning.
Unfortunately csound shows all the events immediately successively without any kind of time between the events.

Is there something wrong in my understanding or should Ii use some additional flag in addition to -F?
