You could probably look up a generic way to use audio buses and once you understand that, you'll see how to use them in Vegas.

A bus is a way to put an effect on a group of audio tracks at once.

For example you recorded a band. You have now have twenty tracks of audio, since you miked all the drums differently and they use a bunch of guitars and 5 vocalists.

On the individual tracks you tweak the individual sounds. Then you group the like sounds together and route them to a bus.

So you have a bus for Drums and one for Guitars and one for Vocals.

This way if you want to raise all the drums at once you can easily do so.
If you want to compress all the guitars and add reverb, you only need to mess with one track.

I doubt Cinescore does what you are asking for. I also think the 5.1 gurus can give a workflow that accomplishes what you want

Then when you get that down, you can do fancy bus-to-bus routing. Now you have all the drums effects working correctly and the guitar effects working, then you can route the drum bus and the guitar bus to another bus called the music bus and now you have a way of fading out all your instruments without effecting the vocals.

You can replace drums and guitars above with dialogue, score, background noise, sound effects, etc and see how you would use audio buses in a video production.

Ahhhh!
(long creative sigh:)
I think I get it.
Many thanks.
(I'm going to try routing the Cinescore to two busses one dry for the front of the 5.1 and one with a small amount of 100% wet reverb for the rear 2 speakers - or something like that, I'm in the middle of a render right now).
Cheers.
