Make a clone copy of an existing plugin, with a new file name and a new menu name, in the same folder as the original plugin. This can be useful when making a variant plugin, or for creating multiple plugins that save data associated with the menu name.

It will remember the name of the last plugin you copied across Sibelius sessions, so you can set up your favorite template to reuse.
