How would Rosegarden cope with scores reflecting a high degree of notational
complexity, eg. works by Brian Ferneyhough or James Dillon. Is it capable of
rendering that level of detail into a Csound score file ?

Can you elaborate on how you use C as a score generator ? For example, are you
referring to a variety of high-level algorithmic program that happens to be
written in C, or something that depends upon, and even exhibits, unique
characteristics of the C language as part of the score generation process.
