Save Template Not Working
I have read the previous discussions and suggestions.
I have a created a score that I want to save as a template for further use. With it open, I click Save As, then navigate to the MuseScore/Templates ;folder, give the file a name and then click Save. Exit MuseScore and restart.
When I go to start a new score, the saved template is there in the opening dialogue page but it's just a copy of the score that I saved from. It's not a blank template.
What am I missing? Thank you.

You need to add it to the user templates, not the system templates. Here's the handbook page

I didn't put it in the system templates. It's in my Linux folder:
Home/Documents/MuseScore/Templates

In the Edit Menu, select Preferences and the General tab and ensure the folder for templates is correct.
If it's showing up as a template you can choose, then it's in the right folder. Ignore the thumbnail image showing the filled-in score; click on it and continue, and you'll find a blank score is created from it.

You are correct. In the drop down menu from File, I was mixing up and confusing New with Open.
When I click New I do get a blank template with the styles I had saved as a template.
Thanks for the help. Sorry for the dumb oversight.
