hi, yes, midi is actually my primary way of composing, I'm just not sure how 
to connect the two worlds together. Things like format needed for the 
orchestra, etc.

You can also install midi-ox and midi yoke sop that you can send midi
messages directly from SIbelius, Finale, Musescore, etc. straight to
Csound.

For simple things like MIDI note key number and velocity, you can just  
use the conversion flags:

--midi-velocity-amp=N
--midi-key-cps=N

where N is the p-field you want to map to. Then your MIDI velocities  
and notes will be mapped onto
p-fields and behave just like a (simple) numeric score, but remember  
to use 'r' envelopes (e.g. linenr).

simple example:



--midi-key-cps=5 --midi-velocity-amp=4 -F midifile.mid


massign 0,1
instr 1
k1 linenr p4,0.01,0.1,0.01
a1 vco2  k1,p5
out a1
endin


f0 36000
