Dear Lawrence,
I have done this a number of times and I sometimes encounter file
corruption problems when converting older files into newer versions of
Finale. Whether or not this is a result of the seemingly logical
procedure you describe is not clear.
I don't know that this helps because I don't really know the source of
the corruption, but I've done what you describe often enough that the
idea that it might be a cause of problems gives me pause.

myriad edits that one does in the course of building a new piece,"
Has anyone had experience of problems/file corruption caused by
using this
method of creating a blank? This is the way I do it and I'm now
concerned
that I may have piled up a stack of problems for later. (although, as
Christopher says, this would seem to be merely the same as making a
new edit)
Thanks,
Lawrence
