You mean controlling csound by algorithms from pure data? I never got 
the grip of doing intensive logic in pd. In chuck I can just do a 
if-then-else, like

while(true)
if(nb_notes_played >= Std.rand2(5,9)){
	0 => osc.gain;
	Time.beat() * Std.rand(2,5) => now;
	1 => osc.gain;
	0 => nb_notes_played;
} else {
	Std.mtof(Global.randomArrayElement(scale)) => osc.freq;
	Time.beat() * 0.5 * Std.rand(1,3) => now;
	nb_notes_played++;
}

Did you get that? Plays phrases of 5-9 notes with lengths between a 1/8 
note and a dotted 1/4 note, frequencies randomly selected from a scale. 
In between phrases make a rest of between 1 to 5 beats.

The above is not tested, assumes some defs to go before it, and is not 
that pretty. But (when tested) it works, it took my < 1 min to write 
here and it's easy to play around with lengths of notes and rests, try 
other scales, put restraints on note selection (use your counterpoint 
rules), etc.
