Well, I don't speak Python, so I'll hope to get another response.

But from what I can decipher from your script I might have to express 
myself clearer:
The condition for the inclusion of a directory is _only_ that it starts 
with a number.
The dirs with scores in it are named according to opus number, thus 
starting with a two digit number, followed by an underscore and another 
two digit number.
But the unique characteristic is that it begins with a number, as all 
other directories below the project root start with characters.

Thanks anyway
