The following is an excellent  response from Michael Gogins to a similar
request I made about score generation. I hope you don't mind me reposting it, Michael.

I do not hate Americans, by the way.

"Michael Gogins" 

Cscore is a library that you link with to write your own score generator in
C.

Here are some approaches to writing Csound pieces:

1. Write a score generating function in C and add it to a Cscore
application.

2. Write a score generating program in any language, and print out a Csound
score to a text file. This is easiest and works fine.

3. Use JCsound or AXCsound and embed them into your score generating
program. This is best if (a) you are a moderately experienced programmer and
(b) you need to write your own score generating algorithms, as it gives you
the ability to edit the orc and sco, run more than one score in a row
without reloading the program, and so on.

4. Use one of the score generating frameworks described in Mikelson's latest
ezine. Many of these are designed to do (2) or (3) above.

5. Use notation software to create a midifile. Then use (3) or (4) above or
just use a Csound orc designed to work with -F midifile.

6. Use notation software to create a midifile, then use midi2cs to translate
it to a Csound score.
