Read from clipboard doesn't work
Just as the title says, you can press copy to clipboard> Read from clipboard on a music scroll and it doesn't paste it.
For you lazy people out there:
IGN is my forum name
S: Tarlach
I had some free time, so here's exactly how the buttons don't work.

I haven't tried anything yet so I don't know if they will work. Just a suggestion to try.
b. Selecting "Copy From clipboard" and then pressing "Read from Clipboard" from the music scroll menu of a not empty music scroll
c. Expect empty scroll to be filled with contents of clipboard. Incorrectly filled.
< visual evidence here>
I'm not getting any issue with this, so I don't have anything else to say.
This is the clipboard format that Mabi can understand:
Text started with a MML@ followed thereafter by the Melody line. All harmonies were separated by a comma (,) and at the very end a semi-colon (;) was placed. The composition from clipboard function has always been very picky, so what the game exports to the clipboard from an already made scroll should also match this formatting.

(Put up some more long term image links, sorry about that)
and... As asserted by @Buffalos , the [Read from Clipboard] function in the 'Composer' relies on the implied format: MML@ , , , ;

Use the properly formatted MML below (for example purposes). It's Rank 5, and it's called: "Pieces", by L'Arc-en-Ciel. ☺

If (for example) you only want the Melody via [Read from Clipboard], without the Harmonies; Use the following format:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Take note of the 3 commas before the semi-colon at the end of the above example.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Expected Format Examples for Mabinogi Composer's [Read from Clipboard] function:
MML@Melody , Harmony 1 , Harmony 2 , Song ;MML@Melody , Harmony 1 , , Song ;MML@Melody , , Harmony 2 , Song ;MML@Melody , Harmony 1 , , ;MML@Melody , , Harmony 2 , ;MML@Melody , , , Song ;MML@Melody , , , ;MML@ , Harmony 1 , , ;MML@ , , Harmony 2 , ;MML@ , , , Song ;..etcetera.. ☺
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If there is no Song in the score, a 3rd comma doesn't need to be used, but it can be.
MML@Melody , Harmony 1 , Harmony 2 ;MML@Melody , Harmony 1 , Harmony 2 , ;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As @Opalthira said, "it's been this way for years.."... (minus the 3rd comma and Song). ☺
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~ So, in closing;.. It's technically not a bug (nor broken) and it functions correctly (as intended, or as it has since day one - forever ago). ☺
With that said, it would be nice if the [Copy to clipboard] function performed an 'Auto Format' for our MML Reader (although it was never intended to), but that's a topic for the 'Suggestions' forum, rather than the 'Bugs & Glitches' forum. ~ (Just so we're clear on that point). ☺
