Applescript : how to create a new numbers document

Question

I know you have to use +make new+ command. But how to specify the path and name. I tried +at, properties+ nothing helps.
My code:
*tell application "Numbers"*
* make new sheet at "Macintosh HD:Users:Nimmy" with properties {name:"test"}*
*end tell*
I get an error "Numbers got an error: Can’t make "Macintosh HD:Users:Nimmy" into type location reference". I don't know what should follow (isn't +location specifier+ path to the file?). I would be grateful for anybody who can help.

Answer 1

(a) it seems a bit odd to try to make a sheet before making a document.
(b) I assumes that to make a document the location would be a folder, not a string
(c) to make a document, it would be useful to pass a legal document's name "test" is not one of them.
I tried with
make new document at folder "Macintosh HD:Users:yvan_koenig:Desktop:" with properties {name:"test.numbers"}
This time all seems to be OK but the command failed.
Normal as it was already described.
As far as I know, at this time, to create a document we must rely on GUIscripting.
set myNewDoc to my makeNewDoc("test.numbers", path to documents folder as text)
on makeNewDoc(n, d)
tell application "Numbers" to activate
tell application "System Events" to tell (first process whose title is "Numbers") to tell menu bar 1 to tell menu bar item 3 to tell menu 1 to click menu item 1
(* menu bar item 3 for menu File *)
(* menu item 1 for New *)
tell application "Numbers" to save document 1 as n in file (d & n)
return (d & n) as alias
end makeNewDoc
