Makes cuts - lots and lots of them (6)

I believe the answer is:

scores

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'makes' is the definition.
(I know this)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for scores that I've seen before include "Records" , "Musical compositions in written form" , "Written forms of musical compositions" , "Marks; is successful" , "Gains game points" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
