Layer visibility in new unique scenes

[brookefox]

I set newly created layers not to be displayed in new or existing scenes so as not to screw them up with unwanted material. However, when I create a new scene from one in which the layer state is as desired, all the layers which have been created with the stipulation that they not be included are, indeed, not displayed. What I'd like is for layers not to be included in new scenes unless turned on at the time of creation of that unique scene. Alternatively if I could dupe a scene with my desired layer visibility that would do the trick.

Tips appreciated.
