I think so, although as I remember Erable does a slightle better job of it (not that
ALG48
does a bad job though)

It depends, since the HP48 has a clock, there are music programs out there that time
music
playback accurately enough that you can program multiple parts of a song into
different
calculators, and so long as you start them playing at the same time, the drift isn't
at all
noticeable, even over reasonably long songs.  I once set four HS48s up to play
Contrapunctus I
from Bach's The Art of the Fugue, and it didn't sound too bad.
