Cutter and scorer (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

barber

I believe this is a double definition.

'cutter' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'scorer' is the second definition.
(Samuel Barber)

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for barber that I've seen before include "Sweeney Todd's occupation in Fleet Street" , "producing various versions of Hair?" , "Coiffeur" , "Rossini's opera 'The . . . . . . of Seville'" , "American composer; hairdresser" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
