I didn't look into how this is setup, but could something have a score 
tag without the score being defined? I'd have thought it safest to call 
$self->get_Annotations('score') and check if the answer was defined.

So really the solution would seem to be:

$self->score('.') unless @{[$self->get_Annotations('score')]};
(or similar)
