I just noticed this is not mentioned anywhere in the
page (even though it is in the example).
 
I think it definitely should feature there.

Hi,

What messages do you get in the console output? It is possible that you don't have any score events so csound exits immediately. You can try placing the statement "f 0 3600" , which will make csound run for 3600 seconds while receiving MIDI events.

It would be nice if the score is empty that a dummy score with a statement like "f 0 3600" was used.

Cheers,
Andrés

I'm attempting to get real-time MIDI input to Csound in Windows, and it's not
working.

As noted in earlier threads, I'm working on a magazine article on Csound,
and I'd love to be able to report that I actually got it working. I've
pretty much given up on CsoundVST, which as far as I can see simply doesn't
work in my computer, but I'm still hopeful about stand-alone real-time
operation.

The page on "Real-time MIDI Support" in the manual is not helpful. It
immediately tosses in several items that I don't understand.

Michael Gogins's tutorial has a clearly written section on real-time MIDI in
Windows, but the instructions in that section don't work for me. I've loaded
the .csd he recommends (CsoundVST-nomixer.csd), added the code he suggests
in the tutorial, and, after a bit of wrangling, managed to get my MIDI input
port configured correctly. (I happen to need to use port 9, not 0, which
meant I had to edit the .csd a bit more.)

But when I hit the play button in the Csound5gui, "playback" starts and
stops immediately, without waiting for any MIDI notes to arrive.

What am I doing wrong? Suggestions would be welcome.
