Description
I would like to suggest a second cloning option in song-editor.
Some VSTs are huge, and on low-end HW, cloning a track can take a long time, or even crash LMMS. If we make an option to only clone *notes*, and let these cloned notes be inserted into a default 3oc, then the issue with hangs/ crashing during **clone**, because of a complicated VST, could be avoided.

Research direction
Start by locating the Song-Editor clone action and the existing track-cloning path. Trace how notes and instruments are copied, then verify that a notes-only clone inserts the notes into a default 3oc without loading the original VST.
