I did play with the sequencer some time ago. So if there's nothing
like that maybe it could be done something equivalent with the
sequencer.
Maybe one possible implementation would be to program the
notes/intervals for each grade, trigger the correct part/grade with
MIDI footpedal, and make use of transpose when the tune is not in the
key in which it is programmed.

Hope to have some time to do this.

Thanks Robert.
