# 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, 0.6.4 is `212`.
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.
examples of the starting column:

each line following the column number is verbatim from the pattern view with channels separated by `|`. each line also ends in `|`.
notes use the default settings for note display (no German notation), including note off `OFF`, note release `===`, and macro release `REL`.
