Dale,
the answer is probably this. When your engraver sends back a file, it is not
exactly the same file you sent him. this explains why, when you make changes
to the Sibelius 7 file saved as Sibelius 5 file he sends you, he probably has
to redo some of the formatting because it doesn't survive backward
compatibility. As to why a file saved in Sibelius 5 from Sibelius 7 would ask
you to save changes even though you don't think you've made any, consider this.
Even moving to the first bar in a score is considered a change by Sibelius.
So, the experiment I recommend is this:
1. Take a Sibelius 5 version that your engraver has sent you in his package.
Let's say that this is an, "identical" file to his Sibelius 7 version with the
exception that it is saved in Sibelius 5. I would assume that the mere
backward save makes it no longer identical. To confirm this, simply open the
file and, without touching a single keystroke, (I can't stress this enough,)
close the file. If it asks you to save the file, feel free to do so with an
alternative descriptive name. You might want to mention this to your engraver
and see if he has any thoughts. I think I've got it, though.
