Whenever I open Garageband 10 it automatically opens the last used/saved project. There isn't an option anywhere to disable this. So it would open with the New Project window instead for example. Or just empty with no project at all. There isn't a way to change that anyway?
OS X Mavericks (10.9)

hold down the optionKey before you launch the app
No, doesn't work. At least not in the fully updated Garageband 10 on Mavericks. It still opens the last used project.

just tried it again, works here, GB 10.0.2, OS X 10.9.2
make sure you don't release the key until GB has finished launching
Was about to mention that. At first I held the Option key down, but released it after I pressed the GB icon. The last project loaded. Then I held the Option key down while pressing the GB icon and held it until the very end. Then the last project doesn't load starts empty. So thanks 🙂
Meanwhile I sent some feedback to Apple. An annoying feature which should at least be able to turn off.

good call, i don't think enough people bother, and the GB team does read the feedback.
It wrks for me too, just like Hang said.
There is a difference between holding down the options key and simply clicking GarageBand 10 in the Dock and between double clicking it.
If you hold down the options key and simply click, GarageBand 10 will only show the main menu bar, but not an application window. Then just use the "File" menu to create a new project.
Or, if you do not want to create a new project, but want to open again one of your previous projects, ctrl-click the Dock icon and use the "recent" menu:
I want to point out one more thing.
In case you use a third option, launching GarageBand with a key command, then the option key works too. Just hold down the option key after you press the key command.
Hope that helps
