My suggestion is to try playing whatever tune you are working on on your nylon string guitar. If it sounds clean on nylon strings, you are doing it right.
The most humbling experience for me was when I moved from steel string to nylon string guitars. Almost all of my left and right hand technique was not appropriate for getting good clean sound out of nylon strings. Fretting has to be much more precise to get good sound out of your left hand. My right hand fingerstyle technique was good for steel, but produced snaps on my nylon string instead of clean tones. I spent almost a year working out bugs in my technique... Now my playing is much cleaner on both steel and nylon...

Good thread thoroughly enjoyed reading and it kind of ties in with my thoughts of late about the "performing arts " .Do i have what it takes for to play that cleanly for to aim to please ...i think i just do what i do as some of the best sounds i make on a guitar are mis-takes .

Barry, obviously finger style is a strange animal indeed when it comes to noise and trying to keep all that at a minimum. One of my favorite exercises was to do the D fingerpicked to G then walked down to EM then over to A. Just a great simple method to practice for perfecting this issue, with lots of open strings. One of those first moves we all learned but few perfected it. James Taylor uses it a lot varying the chords but basically the same process. It's all about letting those strings open until they need to hammered down again and knowing just the right space of time to do that in. A very basic lesson that many would find helpful in fixing this pesky problem.
