Noting Tom Goddard's suggestion about mcopy syntax

  - How does animation integrate with recording, 2dlabels, coordset, other commands with frame arguments (move,turn,rock,roll)? Simply as interleaved commands between "movie record" and "movie stop"? Could coordset or 2dlabels changes occur at the same time as other transitions?
 
+==== Tom Goddard notes ====
+
+If you want to restore just some attributes of a scene with the scene restore
+command you might have an optional command argument to specify which
+properties to restore.  The command syntax could use just one argument which
+takes a string with single characters indicating what to restore.  The mcopy
+command that copies molecule attributes is an example of this command syntax.

+Characters after the settings keyword (default csv) control which attributes are
+copied:

+    c - colors (model-level and atom-level, see coloring hierarchy)
+    s - atom/bond and ribbon display styles
+    v - visibility (model-level, residue-level ribbon, and atom-level display,
+        see display hierarchy)
+    l - atom and residue labels
+    x - atomic coordinates, untransformed
+    p - placement (model transformation)
+    a - all of the above
