Music
These are two separate subjects in someone's music degree studies. As far as I can make out, they both mean "reading from sheet music". What distinction are they trying to make here?

sight-reading / score-reading
My wife teaches music and from what little I understand, I believe the difference is that as in:
http://www.gnesin.ru/teach/chp_dirchor.html
where reading a score can imply looking at it, analyzing it, thinking of how to perform it, and so forth.
I see the difference as one between instant skill and analytical skill.
(I sing in a church choir and can't sight-read, just memorize from hearing.)

I don't know what the distinction is, may be there's no distinction and they just designate one thing in two ways (for reliability)

Note from asker:
| I think that in English the distinction between sight reading and reading from a score is that the first means reading (= playing?) from a score you have never seen before and the second just means reading/playing something you have already studied. |

I agree with Andrew - just want to explain the difference. Score reading is a term used for orchestras, chorals and sight reading is used when a perfoormer, for example, a pianist needs to play unfamiliar piece of music
