Description
Your idea
When closing a new blank score, MuseScore should not open the save prompt dialog if the score is empty. If changes were made but all were reversed with the undo command, MuseScore should still not open the dialog.
Problem to be solved
This would make the User Experience of MuseScore smoother and bring it closer in line with other modern editor programs
Prior art
Microsoft office programs already exhibit such behavior

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by tracing the desktop score-closing flow and how it determines whether a new score is modified, including the state after undo; done means an untouched or fully reverted blank score closes without a save prompt while edited scores still prompt.
