[JW Lua] Copying PercussionNoteMods in layer copying

[Jari Williamsson]

Jan,

It's by design (and documented) that 
FCNoteEntryLayer::CreateCloneEntries() doesn't save any entry detail 
info to the clone, since the entry ID is 0 for all note entries until 
the layer is saved.

FCNoteEntry:CopyEntryDetails() can copy entry details from one entry to 
another entry. That method will work if the FCNoteEntry has been saved, 
and it can clone the tuplets as well.

HOWEVER, it does NOT support percussion note detail, mainly since it 
doesn't make sense when cloned to another percussion layout.

I'll probably need to add another method to FCNoteEntry for copying 
percussion details separately. I'll look into it!


Best regards,

Jari Williamsson
