click "Create a new score";
select "Create new score from template" and press "Next";
select any template and press "Next";
enter a number of bars different to that included in the template (eg, 3);
press "Finish".
If the number of bars you specify is less than the number of bars in the original template file then it shows all the bars in the original template. If the number of bars you specify is more than or equal to the number of bars in the original template file then it works as expected.
click "Create a new score";
select "Create new score from template" and press "Next";
select leadsheet.mscx and press "Next";
enter a 5 for number of bars (different to that included in the template);
press "Finish".
Expected behavior: New score should have only five bars

Confirmed in r2006 (WinXP)

In r. 2007 I changed all the bundled templates so that they only have one measure (with the exception of leadsheet.mscx).
Doesn't appear to be fixed.

Actual behavior: New score has 24 bars.
(tested using r. 4227 nightly build, Windows 7)
This has been fixed for some time now.
