I've played "My Fair Lady" twice - once in high school, with the old MS parts, and once, about ten years ago, with the Kentucky Opera Association (as a regular opera production in the fall-spring season, for some odd reason), with the typeset parts, which were, as you say, FULL of mistakes.
[snip] I prefer the MS parts, if that's all the care they take with the new ones. It's a real shame, since they could be corrected so easily on somebody's computer. Nobody cares.
But you know, I'd bet that the typesetting was done from a set of the manuscript parts, and not from an original full score, so all the old errors are perpetuated in secula seculorum!
