Which makes me kind of think if something for Orchestras/Musical Pits was 
developed, it would have to have to be really like a light weight version of 
Sibelius/Finale which could do SIMPLE editing of a pre-existing score (say for 
like Fiddler on the Roof), and when the conductor marks up the score with all 
the cuts, it would send out the changes to Reader applications where the 
musicians could then use it for display, mark it up, etc.

But again, there would have to be some sort of copy-protection or something. I 
don't see MTI Shows giving out free copies of their works. But then again, I've 
come across scans of full scores and parts of Musicals out there on the net 
so.....I guess the illusion of security is what matters.
