Feature Request: Copy Graphic Slice as SVG code to clipboard

Could you please consider adding a “Copy to Clipboard” button (or key command) for Graphic Slices that copies the SVG Code directly?

The Context / Current Friction: Currently, to get a simple II-V-I voicing into my web tool, I have to:

  1. Create a Graphic Slice.

  2. Export it as a file to my drive.

  3. Open that file in a text editor.

  4. Copy the code.

  5. Paste it into my HTML.

  6. Delete the temp file.

When creating dozens of small theory exercises, this file-management workflow is quite slow. Being able to just hit “Copy” on a slice and “Paste” the <svg>...</svg> code directly into my code editor would be a huge timesaver for educators creating digital materials.

Thanks for considering this!

edit: I now use the screenshot function on Mac which works alright (for now)…

Very pertinent request. Sometimes, I miss the “Share” functionality we have in iOS. These extensions do exist in macOS, but they are not common. Even Apple didn’t add a native “Copy to Clipboard” that works in the Share extension sheet.

And to paste the clipboard directly into the Line, Music symbols, and Playing technique editors.

A screenshot is a bitmap image with the same resolution as your screen. Presumably, you wanted to use SVG, to have vector graphics on your webpage? Bear in mind that there might be font issues, as I don’t think the Bravura glyphs are embedded in the SVG.
