OK. That makes sense. Thank you for being detailed in your answer. That
helps me so much.

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.
