Comments

I'd like to discuss the asterisk - particularly whether it should appear on the full score tab (different to the 'main' tab), or not.

At the moment, my view is that it should not, because I think you will be prompted about saving changes anyway.

This seems to have been fixed for some time. Tested with a2b136c

As for the asterisk, I think it does belong on the main tab, which is where it does in fact appear. Rationale: you want it on the same level as other open scores, so you can perform a quick visual scan of the main tabs to see which have pending changes. It's not just about what happens when you close the program; it's also about whether you might want to do a save before, say, going to bed or whatever.
