It sort of does.  You can have segments triggered by individual notes 
with pitches and durations adjusted to match the triggering notes, and 
that allows you to do a fairly limited sort of pattern-based 
composition.  There are various reasons why it's limited; the main one 
is that nobody ever requests improvements to it (perhaps because almost 
nobody knows the feature is there in the first place).  I'd like to see 
some of those requests -- almost any improvement you can imagine is 
likely to be easier to implement than the original feature was.
