Get CM from:
ftp://ccrma-ftp.stanford.edu/pub/Lisp/cm
You can chose to get binaries for Mac, SGI, LINUX, Win95 if you don't have
your own lisp compiler. The documentation is very extensive, but there's
not for how to use it with Csound. I will have a lot of my Computer Music
course materials available on line for my students this year and will
include a number of examples at the "beginner" level in using CM for
making csound note lists. I could make these publically available but I
would not have the time to answer questions about them.
There are tutuorials available in the documentation. Of course it would
help to know some lisp already, or at least to have some programming
experience if you're going to teach yourself CM (most of my students have
no prior lisp experience and learn to become quite good at programming
according to the needs of their music, but they're not having to teach
themselves).
