Yes Csound is not yet midi-intuitive.  I am using alot of algorithmic
composition software at the moment as well as Cakewalk Pro Audio as my
master container and manipulator.  I am endevoring to create midi
controlled virtual synths in Csound so that the score would almost be a
non-issue, except for the minimal f-statement.
	In Cake, there is now a feature called studioware, where one can build
virtual control panels for any piece of equipment so I plan on building
panels to control and program these synths in real-time.  They also let you
save the parameters of these panels so in effect you could save presets
like on a real sysnth.  Then you could call up a work file and there would
be your synths and saved sounds.  Wish me luck.  I will post my work as I
progress.  It would also help the non-score midi type people in the Csound
community to get into Csound without a huge learning curve.
