No, sorry, currently it is not possible.

You could always do this manually, take each song's phrases from each project folder, then write down which song needs what phrases, rebuild each song from scratch and so on. But this is something that I would never try, it requires a lot of time, and only for a couple of projects. Imagine having to do that for dozens of projects. No, this is absolutely out of the question.

General lack of inter-project data managing functions makes this Roland conception very limited.

Also the limit of 50 songs per project - where is it from?
Each song must be loaded prior usage and takes separate file so why limit it at all and specially so low?

This whole project management and sequencer needs an update IMHO. This my wish list:
1) Inter-projects functions for copying, exporting and importing data between projects
2) No more nonsense limits (50 songs)
3) Folders for file data (songs, phrases) - at least one nesting level.
4) Saving phrase at desired number
5) Copy/Cut/Paste in sequencer editors
6) Merge/Dissolve/Cut/Glue for phrases
7) FX (PFX, MFX...) setups and PFX freeze (not chaning on selecting other patch for a part)
8) MFX1 and MFX2 in serial possibility in Studio Mode (why not ?!?)
9) More filter options for MIDI including note range filter
10) Solo switch for tracks, parts
11) multiple MIDI setups
11) Global USER patch repository (GUSER bank) or possibility to override factory patches
12) Internal waves usage in multisamples

Hi..and thank you!
Isn't possible to copy file with computer, because can be that i've different phrases with the same name(phrase 0001,0002) i've tried to change the names but is finished all in confusion for the Fantom because it want what it have create!! And than there are many thinks to copy for every song...i've tried also "save as" or save the song in a different memory but Fantom tell me "memory full"!!...

You can rename phrases from the Fantom-G. However, phrase names are only seen from Fantom-G's UI.
When browsed from a computer, all you can see is numbered .SVP files.

Thanks Marek,

You nailed just about all of except two additional items that I want to add to the wishlist on the G as well.

So I am not alone:-).

Come on Roland..... help!!!
Even my Korg PA1x sequencer has all these basic options and song editing / load features and its a arranger. Not a workstation.

Yeah, a decent file system should be implemented, not only for songs but for patches, samples and multisamples as well. We should be free to load whatever we want from any project in our USB stick to the current project. Not only Korg Pa-series can do that, but many other instruments. I can't really think of any workstation with this closed system like the Fantom-G. We're talking about basic and elementary stuff here, not Quantum Physics.

What is the status of determining which phrases belong to which songs from the computer's point of view (attached via USB cable)? I have o/s 1.5 and it doesn't seem like there has been any updates in the o/s in quite some time. Am I missing something here or wasn't there a wishlist for this stuff made like 4 years ago?
