The page for the overture 'In Memoriam' by Arthur Sullivan clearly states that it is an orchestral work and a 'Score featuring the orchestra' which implies that at the very least the full orchestral score is available.
However all that is there is the piano reduction.

Re: Misleading categories for the Overture 'In Memoriam'
The tags and all the information in the "General Information" section must be for the original instrumentation, regardless of whether or not we have the original instrumentation available. With over 75,000 works here, and almost 265,000 files, it would be an enormous amount of work to keep track of whether the information is up to date with only what has been uploaded, for 75,000+ pages (and the work done on this site is entirely volunteer -- there are no employees here). Apart from that, having the original instrumentation in the General Information section has become quite a nice research tool for people looking for information on pieces, not just the actual sheet music.
We do realize that there will always be times when the tags bring a work up on a list for, in this case, orchestra, when we don't actually offer the orchestral part (yet), but the page you are referring to is actually correct for the system we have in place.
