v3.6.0 and v3.6.2 mistakenly think a file created under a previous version has unsaved changes
(edited for improved precision)
Starting with MuseScore-3.6.0.487915773-x86_64, I've been observing this: When I open a MSCZ file (see attached) created with version 3.5.2 or earlier, the Undo arrow immediately shows black, and exiting MS prompts me to "save changes ?" - all I've done is open the file to read, no editing. I verify that nothing has changed by rapidly repeating Ctrl-Z and Ctrl-Y.
I could just agree to save, but that would be confusing since I rely on the timestamps to keep my scores organized. I have the new engraving feature set to never prompt.

Hmmm, I tested it just now and I don't get asked to save when I open (but not edit) a score. This is on 3.6.2. I close MS by clicking the "X" in the upper right corner; however, it works the same if I use the menu Quit command.

Thanks for the quick response ... Maybe I should have qualified that to refer to files created before 3.6.0. Anyway, edited the OP accordingly. Thanks again.
I'm not really sure how it was designed to work, but I can speculate that it's about the change in default style settings. When you import an older file, you need to make a choice about whether to accept the new fonts or not, and it's that choice the MuseScore probably wants to save, so you don't have to keep making it each time you open the file. Since you have the dialog set to not prompt, perhaps that should also trigger MuseScore not to ask about saving on exit with no other changes.
