I would need to be able to do everything I do with a paper score (highlight my part, write in translations and IPA, write in notations from coaches and teachers, as well as staging). I could see value in being able to automatically highlight/translate/IPA an entire score without having to do the legwork yourself, but I would also want the option of doing the legwork, as that's part of my process.
In addition to all the things I do with a paper score, I would want to be able to save versions I've already made notes in to reference, but, in the event that I do the same opera again, I would want to be able to start fresh with a clean version, so I could look at both old and new versions.
I'd also want to be able to get multiple editions. Some people use Schirmer. Some use Baerenreiter. This program wouldn't be of significant value unless I could actually get the scores I needed.
And, I would want it to have some degree of playback. It wouldn't have to be amazing, but something so that I could hear the orchestration on a particular page of music or what have you.
