Hi,
What is the meaning of "way around scores" in the followinf text?
In high school guitar and drums. I know my way around scores.
Thanks
To "know one's way around something" means to understand or to be familiar with it. "scores" presumably means musical scores (written music). "In high school guitar and drums" is not a proper sentence.

Anonymous. I know my way around scores.

Thanks for both replies. You are right. A coma between The words "school" and "guitar" is missing and has not been typed. But still the phrase seems doesn't seem proper to me, because in my view we can not say in guitar and in drums. I appreciate further comments. May be I am mistaken.
Thanks

A comma will not make it a grammatically complete sentence. However, it could still make sense in context, with the missing words implied by what has previously been said. For
Your reasoning and deduction is absolutely right. A further detailed text in the book reads as follows;
"How do you know? Did you play music?"
Decker nodded. "In high school, guitar and drums"
Thanks
