Depends on the composer. In a case like Williams, it's usually more than that. In cases like Zimmer, yeah it's probably like that. In cases like Clint Eastwood, it's probably less...

Hi, you mean composing in short score, where a composer puts in the essential details of orchestration and leave out the less important ones? I recall Mahler composed some of his symphonies in short score, his unfinished 10th being one.

I was just generalizing.

A lot of composers write like that. Elgar didn't mostly, I don't think Berlioz did either. I don't. But even Mozart did.

Oh.... Closed.... become off topic.
