Copying SVG between scores not working
The manual says, "Copying imported images:
Once an image has been imported into the score it can be copied/cut and pasted to another location, such as a frame, note or rest, using the standard commands and procedure (see Copy and paste)."
This works perfectly within one score, however I lose the images when I copy and paste between scores. There are place holders (see attached) in the proper positions, but images aren't there.
Is this expected behavior?

The images are symbols I created in Inkspace for notating ochestral voicings. They're rougly the size of a note head (maybe a little larger).

Create a palette for your images. Then hit ctrl+shift and drag them to the palette. One at a time. Then apply them as you would other symbols. You'll need to position them.

I've tried adding the symbols to a palette in the past, but I've never gotten that to work (though I have read through the forum topics on that problem). So, I just keep Inkspace open and cut and paste. The workflow is really ok, but it's fiddly work nonetheless. I don't want to do it again if I don't have to.
I'm creating a score reduction from full score. Since I knew this problem existed before this, I saved the full score under another name and then went about creating the reduction by using the implode tool on that copy. Unfortunately, I didn't include the celli and the basses in the selection when imploding and then deleted those staves without realizing my mistake until the next day. I'd love to copy over those two lines from the full score, but that's not happening.
I suspect the copy handler needs attention. When I copy from Musescore and paste into Inkscape, Inkscape tells me there's nothing on the clipboard.
