You could use the csound command line option `-L' with a named pipe.
The following example works with s7:

Csound orchestra test.orc:

instr 1
  print p1, p2, p3, p4, p5
endin

mkfifo score
csound -L score -odac -+rtaudio=null --orc test.orc

>From s7:

(define score (open-output-file "/path/to/score"))

(define* (csound-test (instr 1) (dur 1.0) (freq 440) (amp 0) (port score))
  (format port "i ~D 0 ~F ~F ~F~%" instr dur freq amp)
  (flush-output-port port))

(csound-test 1 1.5 1234 -6)
(csound-test :dur 3.2)
(csound-test :amp -3 :freq 660)

;; Remember to close the port.
