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.
