Ah, power note. That's the proper term. Through further experimentation (and luck), I was able to answer my question.
What I was attempting to ask was if you encountered a power note that you already have equipped, perhaps already upgraded, if picking up the weaker power note would upgrade it. As an example, holding a Turret 2 and finding a Turret 1 after a boss. My thought was that picking up the Turret 1 would add to the level of the equipped Turret 2, making it a Turret 3... Or something of the sort.
Unfortunately, picking up a Turret 1 with a Turret 2 equipped will overwrite it to a Turret 1. Something that isn't described to the player as it is with another power note.

Oh man, I'm loving it so far! It takes a little bit of getting used to, but it's a satisfying little twin-stick shooter. I must ask, though, does picking up 8th note utility upgrade it, in the same manner as would upgrading it would provide? Otherwise, it would seem boss reward rooms are a bit dry once the player's preferred utility comes around.
Also, I don't know if this is known or not, but this killed a great run I had. A shame, but it's a dev build.
