I would have thought that fprintks opens a file at init time and closes it when the instance is killed. So it looks like every midi note triggers that cycle in your code.

Incidentally there is a midi to score file
example in the manual page for fprintks.
It should run lonly one instance of the instrument to do the writing.

Well, I tried the second example (midi file to score) and the output file size is 0.

This is csound 6.11 on Windows...

Correction: The csd file DOES work on OS X with version 6.12, but NOT on
Windows with version 6.11

I installed csound 6.12 on Windows and the midiFile2score.csd seems to work.
However, there are a handfull of other oddities occuring now with another csd (will attach)

When I run this csd in the command prompt, I get this error:

Loading SoundFont : ..\samples\003.3mg GS Roland Sound Set 16 bit Bank.SF2.

fluidSynth: 0x0000024848BCEDC0  soundFontId: 1.

0: iCON iKEY V1.02 (portmidi)

PortMIDI: Activated input device 0: 'iCON iKEY V1.02' (MMSystem)

 *** PortMIDI: error opening input device 0: PortMidi: `Host error'

 *** error opening MIDI in device: -1 (Unknown MIDI error)

When I run the csd in CsoundQt (no options checked, so it should be the same) it sort of works, but not quite:
there is no midi error or audio error (see my other post), but the csd does not finish, although there is a duration macro of 30 seconds. Therefore the score file written has size 0.

Also, when I play the midi keyboard it sounds very bad, a soft, cracking sound and not the GM soundfont I expect.

The sound was a matter of not having the buffer sizes checked in CsoundQt. Now (strangely) the csd does finish after 30 seconds, but the output score file size is still 0, unfortunately.
