score| Complete copy of a piece of music in manuscript or printed form. A full score shows all the lines of music for each instrument playing in a composition. The music is arranged on the page according to the four sections of the orchestra: woodwind, brass, percussion, and strings. It is usually printed on large paper for easy reading, such as for a conductor's score. A short score is a reduced or condensed version of a piece of music, such as a full score, into a few staves of music (usually two). It also refers to a composer's ‘sketch’, which contains the outlines of the instrumentation he will expand later. A piano score is a reduction of an orchestral or vocal score to two staves of music to be played on the piano. A miniature or study score is a full score reduced to notebook size. |

| This, however, as I hoped, proved the undoing of him, for he now hit out confidently at everything, and with his score at nine I beat him with my shooter. She differed from the others in no feature that was appreciable to my earthly eyes, in fact all Mahars look alike to me: but when she crossed the arena after the balance of her female subjects had found their bowlders, she was preceded by a score of huge Sagoths, the largest I ever had seen, and on either side of her waddled a huge thipdar, while behind came another score of Sagoth guardsmen. Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation: conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. |
