I'm new to this group.  I have Csound running on a clone 486 dx33 with
8mb of ram, and am using the Windows 3.1 version with great success. 
Before trying out Csound most of my music was done with Cakewalk and a
bank of commericial synths.

I'm interested in porting my Midi compositions to Csound as well
directly generating score files with one or more of the programs out
there. I have a couple of questions about this:

1) I found midi2cs on the net and have used this to convert my midi
compositions to score files.  Is there a similar program that would run
on my system which would allow more sophisticated conversion ( say
controller 16 converted to p4 ) or is this somehting I am going to have
program myself?  If there is nothing availble, is the code for midi2cs
available so that I could start with that as a basis?

2) I know there a lot of different ways to generate score files. What
are you using and why?  Which are good for algorithmic composition?
Which are best for generating more conventional music?

All of your comments will be greatly appreciated.
