For the musicians reading:
What is your relationship with scores?
Does seeing the score tend to enhance or detract from your enjoyment of the piece in question?
What do you learn from score study that you cannot achieve by listening to recordings or live performances?
How well could you grasp your own scores if they were not yours and you could not hear them played?
How many scores that you have studied or just skimmed of your most favorite pieces would be dismissed sound unheard by most any present-day grant, admissions or programming committee because of the notation, formatting, and/or engraving?
To jump start discussion, I'll share my answer to the last one: "Most, if not all."
