Must those who don't know the score do so? (5-4)
I believe the answer is:
sight-read
This could be a double definition.
'must those who don't know the score' is the first definition.
I know that 'score' relates to this answer.
'do so?' is the second definition.
'sight-read' can be an answer for 'do' (sight-reading is a kind of doing). I am not sure about the 'so?' bit.
(Another definition for sight-read that I've seen is " Interpret music without preparation".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
