Is a Torah still kosher if various annotations are scored into the parchment? To be clear, I am asking not about writing annotations, but scratching them into the parchment.

1Many yemenite communities actually did something like this. Many Poskim weren't excited by it (see Igrot Moshe YD 3:117, Yechavveh Daat 6:54)– Double AA ♦Mar 26, 2018 at 12:26

סימן רעד - שצריך לכתב אותה לשמה, ודין תקון האותיות וזיונן ז סֵפֶר הַמְנֻקָּד, פָּסוּל. וַאֲפִלּוּ (ה) הֵסִירוּ מִמֶּנּוּ הַנִּקּוּד. וְכֵן סֵפֶר שֶׁיֵּשׁ בּוֹ (ו) פִּסוּק פְּסוּקִים, פָּסוּל. הגה: וְדַוְקָא שֶׁעָשָׂה הֶפְסֵק בִּדְיוֹ. אֲבָל אִם הִנִּיחַ אֲוִיר בֵּין הַפְּסוּקִים, כָּל שֶׁאֵין בּוֹ שִׁעוּר פָּרָשָׁה, כְּשֵׁרָה (תְּשׁוּבַת ריב''ש) .– Danny SchoemannMar 26, 2018 at 13:07

1@DannySchoemann Note (since you're probably interested) the "Rivash" reference there is a mistake by the printer (and confused many acharonim). The Rama is referencing the "Barukh SheAmar" and likely intended the practice as a Lekhatchila. Indeed most very old Ashkenazi scrolls have those gaps.– Double AA ♦Mar 26, 2018 at 13:11
