A less sticky alternative is to make two photocopies of the music, one in
which you can then white out the words, and the other in which you can
white out the vocal music line. You won't have to worry about removing the
tape later, if you do it this way. Of course, this isn't particularly
practical for a 200-page score, but it's certainly do-able for a 40-page
song cycle, a few arias, etc.
