Depending on the length I provide the first ten pages of the conductor score and every even-numbered page after that. It's enough for them to see whether they want it or not, in my opinion. And I don't send those scores out on my regular stock, either, so if they keep them I'm not out that much. If they insist on seeing the full score it's a regular charge.
