Acronym for Special Claim on Residual Equity, a certificate issued by the Americus Shareowner Service Corporation, a privately held company formed to market the product. A SCORE gave its holder the right to all the appreciation on an underlying security above a specified price, but none of the dividend income from the security. Its counterpart, called Prime, passed all dividend income to its holders, who got the benefit of price appreciation up to the limit where SCORE began. PRIME and SCORE together formed a unit share investment trust (USIT), and both were listed on the American Stock Exchange. A buyer of a SCORE unit hoped that the underlying stock would rise steeply in value.

The first USIT was formed with the shares of American Telephone and Telegraph. PRIME holders got all dividends and price appreciation in AT&T up to $75 a share; SCORE holders received all appreciation above $75. The trusts expired in 1988.

A form of written or printed music in which the staves, normally linked by bar-lines, are vertically aligned so as to represent visually the musical coordination. The use of the word derives from the ‘scoring’ or vertical lines through the staves to form bars. The verb ‘to score’ means to compose or arrange for ensemble performance; ‘to score up’ implies writing out a score from a set of parts.

The term ‘full score’ signifies a score for orchestra containing full details of a work as it is intended to be performed; a ‘miniature score’ is a printed score of pocket size for individual use. An ‘open score’ is one that shows each voice of a composition (normally a polyphonic one) on a separate staff. A ‘piano score’ is an arrangement of an ensemble composition for piano; the term is sometimes used synonymously with ‘vocal score’, in which the voices are fully shown but the instrumental accompaniment is reduced for piano (or organ). A ‘short score’ is a condensed score in which some of the instrumental or vocal lines share a staff. The term ‘study score’ may be for synonymous with ‘miniature score’ or may stand for a medium-sized version of a full score.

In modern orchestral scores, the orchestra is ordered in groups from the top down: woodwind, brass, percussion and strings. Each group is subdivided in roughly descending order of pitch range. The solo part of a concerto is written above the first violins; voice parts may be shown above the first violins or, traditionally, between the viola and the cellos. For clarity, bar-lines normally connect only those staves belonging to each group.

Notes

1. ^ John H. Conway and Richard K. Guy, The Book of Numbers. New York: Copernicus (1996): 11. ""Score" is related to "share" and comes from the Old Norse "skor" meaning a "notch" or "tally" on a stick used for counting. ... Often people counted in 20s; every 20th notch was larger, and so "score" also came to mean 20."
