I don't know, Ben...this sounds like more of a general programming
(algorithmic) problem...but I know csound does *some* MIDI processing, those
are just not the parts of it that I'm all too focussed on using myself.

Does a quick browse of the manual in the MIDI processing section give you
any ideas?

While you're mentioning '-F' and MIDI; the manual mentions that -F processes
always in realtime, including when making a wav file output....does this
mean that complex instruments that crackle and have xruns in realtime will
produce flawed wav-file realizations of MIDI files?? Anyone know??

Hi List -

I have some canned midi data in a MIDI file which I'd like to process with
CSound.  I know that the -F option allows me to read a midi file, though I
assume it's a one-time thing.  I'd like to be able to restart the passage
in
the midi file, change the tempo on-the-fly, trigger osc messages from
notes
depending on where we're at in the piece, etc - lots of fun stuff.  This
is
all in the context of a two-hour performance, so I'm hoping to accomplish
all of this in one instance of csound lasting the entire performance.

I hope csound can do this.  Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I've never tried it, but maybe the "t" score statement works with midi
files too ?
And you could use the normal "times" or "readclock" opcodes to check
how much time has passed in the piece.

I have done this using the API and it's possible to rewind the
MIDI score. I can't remember if its possible with rewindscore and
setscorepos (two opcodes for this thing), but you can try it.

I can confirm that rewindscore works for MIDI scores and
I guess setscorepos should do too.

You could do all this with scripting csoundac.

Hi List -

I have some canned midi data in a MIDI file which I'd like to process with CSound.  I know that the -F option allows me to read a midi file, though I assume it's a one-time thing.  I'd like to be able to restart the passage in the midi file, change the tempo on-the-fly, trigger osc messages from notes depending on where we're at in the piece, etc - lots of fun stuff.  This is all in the context of a two-hour performance, so I'm hoping to accomplish all of this in one instance of csound lasting the entire performance.

I hope csound can do this.  Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
