There is only one way to create an empty Calibre library: through the standard Calibre menu icon. Your new Pristine Library should not be a Q&S library. It should be 100% standard Calibre. See the attached image.
A Pristine Library is just a standard Calibre library whose books all have metadata that is "pristine", meaning "flawless", "pure", "unblemished", "clean".
Q&S libraries are meant for books with trashed-out metadata.
Pristine libraries are meant for "perfect" books with "perfect" metadata.

I am not able to find "Copy Valid Q&S Real Authors to Q&S Pristine Author Validation Table [Selected Books]" in the user guide.

1. Read the menu ToolTip for that menu item.
2. See page 10 of 56, Step 3, Menu Item 5 in the User Guide.
3. In Calibre in your Q&S Library, use your mouse to select books with Real Authors that you deem to be "Pristine" that should be copied to the Pristine Author Validation Table to
supplement the Global Author Table that currently has over 20,000 Authors. If you add a Pristine Author that is already in the Global Author Table, it will be deleted from the Pristine Author Table the next time that Author Level Scrubbing is executed.
4. Click the menu item to do the copy.
It would be a good idea to reread the entire Original Post, including its reference links, and peruse the file attachments to gain an understanding of what resources are available within the Original Post.
Note that as the Original Post says, this add-on is intended for use only by "Advanced Calibre Users" who are somewhat technical in nature, comfortable with ambiguity, essentially autodidactic, and also fluent in Calibre's functionality and library architecture.
The key word above is "
autodidactic".
