hi patrick -

that sounds strange indeed.  can you please open a terminal window and 
just type
csound
and press return?

you should get some output of csound containing the version number.

can you report here?

best -

Here is the Terminal output after I entered the command
"csound".[Patricks-MacBook-Pro:~] patrickalexander% csound
virtual_keyboard real time MIDI plugin for Csound
0dBFS level = 32768.0
Csound version 6.01.0 (double samples) Oct 20 2013

-m N	tty message level. Sum of:
		1=note amps, 2=out-of-range msg, 4=warnings
		0/32/64/96=note amp format (raw,dB,colors)
		128=print benchmark information

end of score.		   overall amps:      0.0
	   overall samples out of range:        0
0 errors in performance
Elapsed time at end of performance: real: 0.020s, CPU: 0.001s
(THE ABOVE LINE IS THE END OF THE TERMINAL OUTPUT)
I see above a few lines "Csound Command ERROR: insufficient arguments". I'm
not at all sure, as I am new to this, but this sounds like it could be the
culprit. Any suggestions relating to this or anything else I might need to
do to get started with Csound & CsoundQt would be very much appreciated.

Try typing:

which csound

To see which version of csound is being used.  Also, besides
downloading the DMG, did you run the installer that comes with the DMG
prior to running Csound QT?

that shows that you have a very old csound installed (6.01).
so csoundqt is right to tell you that the version is not correct.

once you downloaded the osx dmg file, you must first double click the 
package.  this will install csound.  only then you can install and use 
csoundqt.
