from ToonBoom import harmony                                 #Import the Harmony Module
sess = harmony.session()                                     #Get access to the Harmony session, this class.
proj = sess.project                                          #Get the active session's currently loaded project.
scene = proj.scene                                           #Get the top scene in the project.

clipboard = scene.clipboard                                  #The clipboard object.
selection_handler = scene.selection                          #The selection handler.
selection_handler.nodes.select_all()                         #Select all nodes in the scene.

copy_object = clipboard.copy( selection_handler.nodes.list() )    #Create a copy_object in memory from the selection.
selection_handler.select_none()
new_nodes = clipboard.paste_new_nodes( copy_object, scene.top )   #Paste duplicate nodes into the top-group of the scene.

for node in new_nodes:
  print( "Pasted: %s"%(node.path) )                               #Announce the new node's path
  if node.parent_group().path == scene.top.path:
    node.position.y = node.position.y + 300                         #Move it up, to avoid overlap with existing content
