MuseScore 3 - Snapshot doesn't work correctly (copy option)
Onfortunately the copy-option of the snapshot tool does not work correctly. Look at the attached (inkscapegenerated) pdf- file with two pasted images inside; the first one is copied via the copy-option of the snapshot-context-menu, the second one I did via the save as...-option.
As you can see text size is much too big in the first one, second one looks like expected.

I believe this is a known issue, I think it is #279377: Image capture renders text wrong size for some users

It is annoying when the measure numbers are the wrong size, but a lyric will blot out the whole measure.
It's proving difficult to get a handle on this issue, it works perfectly for many but on certain system it doesn't. Then some proposed fixes help some people but don't help others and/or break it for people for whom it was previously working. Seems to depend on factors including OS, system configuration, and screen resolution. But, it's being worked on and hopefully we'll get it figured out.
Luckily, although it's quite unfortunate, the workarounds are not bad at all. The "save as" option does indeed work correctly, and there are plenty of third part screen-capture programs out there (Windows at least comes with such a utility pre-installed, I'd be surprised if other OS's didn't as well).

That's terrible. My MS2 Images directly is filled up with stupid 2 bar images to which I had to assign names and then remember because the copy feature didn't exist/work. Be a shame to see it withdrawn/punted, I use it every day. If there are Mac builds you want me to test, let me know.

It's being worked on and hopefully we'll have a solution soon, if not for initial release than in an update (these are planned to be much more frequent than before).
Meanwhile, though, as I said, the workaorund is just to use the similar feature provided by your OS, or any of the various third-party screenshot tools. Shouldn't need to resort to saving files (although I end up needing to do this only because the forums require files rather than copy/paste).
