That's the first piece of music done with csound-expression not by me. I'm very happy to listen to it. I'm biased as an author. and you have managed to do it so quickly! It's an interesting piece also. With first bars you can feel that the thing is out of tune but then slowly ear gets accustomed to the scale. At the middle of the piece it seems that the tuning is pretty natural and authentic.
I can see the flaws of my lib. I need to scale the output of scores by the number of simultaneous notes. otherwise the clipping is going to happen. I have done it for the real-time midi but not for scores yet. On attack randomization: have you created your own patch to do it? If you are into the classical instruments I've got not so many patches. They are mostly for electronic music. But you can also use SoundFonts of real instruments. Csound can play them and moreover it can play them with arbitrary frequency.
