Well it is the same as doing convert to LilyPond and then editing it in
the score layout view.
(Apart from a bug on my system where the editor is not showing the text
cursor - if you can see the text cursor in the score layout view
LilyPond I would be interested to know that)

Either:
         the score allowed you to quit with the changes not saved, that is you
can change a score layout and the score fails to become unsaved (I think
I fixed all cases of this, please report if not)
Or:
         it is opening with the default layout as the selected layout, not the
one you customized. I think my intention was that the last selected
layout should be selected when re-opening a score (so that hitting print
without looking at the score layout view will print the last selected
layout). If not, you have to select this layout - note that when you
re-open a score the custom layout becomes pure LilyPond, the GUI is not
saved.
