  Alas, no. You can personally blame me for that gigantic oversight. 
  Songs were pretty much always the bastard stepchild of the XL-7. There
  was always that unfortunate knowledge that there was no good way out of
  song mode other than by importing the patterns, but I could never
  justify spending much time on anything song mode related.

  Someday, I'll do a v3... <sigh>
