It has a nice little set of utilities which does include a midi-monitor program. I believe that the midilib has a problem running at the same time a Music-X though ( at least with v1.1 you can now properly suspend Music-X and use the serial port thus allowing you to use the port for midi.library). If you need an ed/librarian for the SY77, I would wait until there is one available from Dr. T's. I use the D110 and K5 ed/lib's from them and can have Music-X, and both editors running at the same time (nice for changing patches on the fly etc., I can even run MusicMouse at the same time). If you do go the commercial route, try to make sure that the ed/lib runs without having to suspend Music-X. Hopefully there might be what you need on the upcoming protocols disk from MicroIllusions.
