copy / paste instrument phrases

I currently miss copy/paste in the phrase selector. I sometimes want to copy the whole phrase to another instrument, but its quite complicated. (need to select notes, copy it, create a new phrase in the other instrument, change lpb and pattern size for the destination and paste the notes).

What about adding copy phrase and paste phrase to the context menu here?

A simple “copy” for phrases would indeed be handy, can’t argue with that.

If you want to go all-in with phrases, I made a tool that (among other things) allow batch import/export of entire banks:

Another option is to save the original phrase then load it in a different instrument.

Yes, indeed. It will be stored in the user library then, available from any Renoise session.

My tool is a bit overkill if all you need is a single phrase.

I found out that there is a copy / paste for phrase, when you right click in the phrase note editor. But it doesn’t copy / paste the size and count of the note / fx columns . But this makes it still a bit easier for me. Anyway, a copy paste of phrases in the phrase selector would be great :slight_smile:
