Yep. In the piano roll editor, you can step with the on screen keyboard
 (the large 'S' button) or with external midi (the 5-pin DIN connector
 beside the 'S').

Bug! I tried it in the drums editor and it doesn't appear to be working.
Bug! Stepping affects the settings midi ports list. The ports disappear 
 but reappear on the next step.

MusE listens for steps from *all* channels on *all* ports.
The midi port does *not* even have to be connected (routed) 
 to a midi track.

So if by chance you have an ALSA midi port and a Jack midi port
 both coming from the same device, even if unconnected to any track,
 you will see double steps - one step for each port.
