What I normally do is begin with a plain notebook, edit the stylesheet
as desired, and save the file. Then I just open up this file (or one
that came from a copy of it), rename it, and delete the contents and put
in the new content. This is rather inelegant as well, but it's easy.
IIRC, there used to be an "embed stylesheet" option on the menu
somewhere under Format. Not sure why they removed that.
