clipboard format

when copying pattern data from Furnace, it's stored in the clipboard as plain text.

org.tildearrow.furnace - Pattern Data (144)

this top line of text is always the same except for the number in parentheses, which is the internal build number. for example, 0.6pre17 is 179.

the second line is a number between 0 and 18 (decimal) which indicates which column the clip starts from.

  • 0: note.
  • 1: instrument.
  • 2: volume.
  • 3: effect 1 type.
  • 4: effect 1 value. effect type is always included in the clip, even if skipped over.
  • 5: effect 2 type.
  • 6: effect 2 value. effect type is always included in the clip, even if skipped over.
  • 7: effect 3 type...
  • ...and so on.
