C64 Music Maker keyboard overlay for VIC?

Just out of interest, I was wondering whether there has been any software developed for the VIC-20 that takes advantage of the C64 Music Maker keyboard overlay?

I remember I wrote one 20 years ago but unfortunately have lost it along all my vic 20 software. It was a variation of the "piano" program listed in the manual, modified to work with QWERTY instead of numbers. For that reason it could not play the first "C" note (corresponding to CTRL key) and crashed on last note because (corresponding to RESTORE key).

My first ever musical instrument, I had lot of fun playing "oh susanna", "yankee doodle" and "when the saints".

If nothing else, there are a few simple piano programs in /pub/cbm/vic20/games.basic/unexpanded.
