And as for me, I would encourage you to just write a program to generate your score in whatever language you are most comfortable with. Of course you can use ANY language to generate a score as a text file.

Beyond that, you can call Csound natively via the Csound API from the following languages, with facilities for building scores programmatically:

C
C++
Python
Java
Lisp
Lua

The examples/koch.py file shows how to do this in Python, but the other languages would follow the same pattern. 

Note as well that in Python, you can embed the Csound orchestra right into the Python script as a triple-quoted string.

Regards,
Mike
