You can save yourself a bit of trouble by doing this: after you delete the content, save the file as a template file (*.ftm). Just open this file anytime you start a new piece. If you're making the same adjustments when you do your new piece, make the changes to your .ftm file, where they will remain forever, or until you tinker with them again!

Giz, ever-tinkering the templates

Whenever I start a new piece, I take the finished file for a roughly similar
old piece, delete all the content, adjust the instrumentation, and go from
there.  That way, all of my libraries and other behind-the-scenes details
(like staff and group name spacing) are set up the way I like them.  Is
there a down side to using this method?  It suits me fine, and seems less
fussy than saving multiple libraries and updating default documents, but I
wonder if there are any hidden gotchas.  File Info does show that the file
was originally created in an older version of Finale than its current
format, but it doesn't seem likely that data is used for anything.  Any
comments or insights?
