There was a thread in the last few months (can't recall its title) in which some of us expressed frustration over people who mark up their music, leaving messy music for their successors to try to read.
I doubt if I'm the first to do this, but I've had good success with scanning the music and then using a photo editing program (Photoshop Elements works well) to enlarge music to pixel size, take the marks off, and then print a fresh copy sans the marks.

One of the tools that I provide my musicians is a vinyl "click" eraser, the type used to clean pencil drafting lines off of a mechanical drawing. The "tube" of the white vinyl plastic has no abrasive in same, and as you erase, the strings that it sheds absorb the lead (graphite, actually) and takes it away, thus avoiding smearing of the stuff on the part.
These erasers are made by a variety of firms, mostly Japanese. One brand name is Marvy. I always use them when I play shows, since the erasing process is speeded considerably. You can buy them at any office supply store.
One pet peeve that I have is that some musicians (naming no names, but they generally play trombone) have taken to marking up parts with colored highlighters. A little hard to remove that stuff from the charts...
