Hi Starkeeper,
unfortunately no. It's not really a notation program. It's strictly single note melody line input, but for playback, there is a harmony icon that you tick, and it plays back with additional 2 or 3 part harmony ( not quite sure which).

When it plays back, the melody is a bit mechanical sounding ie you can tell it's been done in steptime, if I want to play along for practice, I just reasign the melody channel ( midi channel 1) to a channel that's not in use, lower it's volume, and play along for practice. You can also save the "busker" file as a midifile and load it into the onboard sequencer for further editing. You can't go backwards though, ie meaning that midifile cannot be saved as a busker file.
Quite handy for people who don't read music as all you really have to do is copy the score.
What type of cables are you using?

The funds are in US Dollars.
Just make sure you follow the directions carefully for installing the "key" serial no's etc.
You actually install the Another GS program,
( keep a second copy of it, I've got both just in case I want to use a gs soundfont) then you install the patch which turns one of them into an xg font.)

Put it this way, if you do end up getting a more expensive psr like the 1500 or 2000, and don't end up using the fonts, OMB still won't be a waste. It's a really great psr style creator/editor. I originally bought the program for the editing functions alone, well before I'd thought of using it as a software arranger.

Actually these new font's have renewed my interest too, my dgx is going and I'm going to get myself a small controller keyboard.

The xg fonts are only about 30plus mb's, but they sound pretty good, I can only imagine what Frank's set up must sound like.

Don't know how much help I'll be , but the offer stands.

best wishes
