No.  Craig Chamberlain, the author, decided it was not worth the effort
involved.  Instead, he wrote a utility that prints out the information in
textual form, measure by measure.  When creating a Sidplayer tune, this type
of printout is actually more useful, I've found (especially since some of the
tricks one can do with Sidplayer don't translate well to staff notation).
