You're approaching the problem backwards. MS won't let you get out of this easily... Lend the tablets and make your musicians responsible for restoring them before the rehearsal or concert. For the orchestral section scores, MS is still not capable of proper organization. We've asked for it, but it's far from being the case. So you need to create "libraries" by category (brass, violins, etc.)
