I'm guessing yes, but thought I'd ask.

The short answer is yes.

The long answer is. Maybe, as long as the files from home are on the same drive letter and the same folders. I used to do this same thing. I would add new songs at home and copy those, along with the database file to my show computer. The only problem is, I had a little trouble once and had to rebuild my database at the bar and lost all my edits. Finally, I went through all my songs in the edit song dialog and fixed them there. It took me a solid month of spare time to get it done, but now all my KMAs are correct.
