excellent!! funny enough, i just finished my version. i prefer your solution, it’s more elegant, but i’ll post mine just as an example of another way to implement it.
#1
IF G.BTNV: SCRIPT 2; BREAK
L 0 - PN.L 0 1: Z I; SCRIPT 5

D 6
pattern bank 0 stores pressed button ids (so its length reflects how many buttons are currently pressed). pattern 1 stores the corresponding JF voice.
when a button is pressed script 2 gets executed (via script 1). if the length of pattern bank 0 is 6 this means all 6 notes are used, so we remove the top one (which would be the oldest one - we append new notes at the end). script 3 checks if a JF voice passed in Z variable is available, and if it is we store it in A. we then append the new note using PN.PUSH. finally, script 4 triggers the JF voice (A is the voice number and B is the button id). one thing i like about extracting this into its own script is that you can easily change the keyboard layout here, or do some additional stuff, like sending a pulse to trigger an envelope for a filter.
script 5 will be called upon a button release - it checks if this button was used for any of the active notes and removes the corresponding note.
edit: modified the scene so it can be used for any number of voices - set D to the desired number in I script.
re: using math on button id vs using G.BTN.X and G.BTN.Y - both are good options, but using X and Y has a couple of advantages: if you change your button ids it will still work, and if you decide to change the number of rows / columns you don’t have to change your formula.
