The short answer is: no.

The longer answer is yes, but you have to be able to write the software
that reads it, as there's no real standard way.  For your purposes, the
answer is still probably no.

The XL-7 uses text events to save its "routing" info.  If you open the
file up on your computer and view the text events for each track, you
should be able to edit it there, though that will only apply to the
XL-7.

My suggestion would be to save in the native sequencer format until
you're done editing and only export to SMF when you're ready to put it
back in the XL-7.
