There are many similarities, yet plenty of differences, between a musical score and a piano sheet. There are many similarities, yet plenty of differences, between a musical score and a piano sheet.

Clearly, a sheet music is a printed form, handwritten or otherwise, typically on paper medium (these days it could even be computer screens), of musical notation, used as a record and a guide to perform a piece of music. So is a score; and in that sense, a score can be generally thought of as a generic alternative for sheet music. So a “piano sheet,” the way you put it, contains authoritative musical information of a piece, perhaps by its own composer, perhaps not, to be performed on one particular musical instrument, in this case, a piano. If a piece of music is composed for just a solo instrument, a piano, for instance, the whole work written on the music sheet may also be considered, most likely, a score.
A musical score, a complete one, for that matter, on the other hand, in all likelihood would accomodate many, many more different musical instruments at the same time, including perhaps even voice(s) (solo or choral), hence a score, in this case, is the sheet music that results when a musical work that contains separate instrumental (and perhaps vocal) parts are lined-up and printed together. A score can also refer to a music sheet written specifically for one performer. A “piano score” is basically a transcription for piano, whose arrangements may be for either solo (two hands) or duet (four hands, either one or two different pianos), of a music piece with many performing sections, for example, orchestral works, that may include pure instrumental passages within long vocal performances.
There are different types of scores, miniature score, short score, study score, vocal score, and full score, typically put together in a a very large book for the conductor, detailing the music of a composition with complete notation for the full instruments (and voices) all aligned in a fixed order.
* * *What is the difference between musical score and piano sheet?
A musical score would be either the parts for every instrument and part for a musical. OR a Conductors score that has all the parts of the all the instruments. A piano sheet, would have the music just for a piano.
If it is a score for a solo piano it is identical. If it is a score for a combo it will have all the instruments notated; compared to a ';piano reduction'; which compresses the score to be played on a solo piano.
I believe a musical score encompasses all the songs played for that particular musical (broadway, etc.). A piano sheet is simply that, sheet music of a particular song to be played on piano.
