Well, I'd personally describe the following alternative as "easier", but 
it's not one-click, and there's definitely a lot of people who'd beg to 
disagree with my "easier" classification so as they say, YMMV...

FWIW, I tend to prefer editing the scorefile directly... in my favorite 
text-editor. =:^)  That can make for much more efficient scoring and a 
far more orderly setup, as well as eliminating the restrictions of the 
GUI.

Then back in pan I simply hit "s" (which I have hotkey-assigned to the 
edit article's score dialog, I'm not sure if that's default or not), and 
in the resulting edit-score dialog I hit close-and-rescore.  
Alternatively, I simply reenter the group, triggering a rescore that way.

Here's a link to slrn's score.txt doc, which in general works for pan too 
since pan uses the same format, minus some of the fancy stuff like 
includes.  (Also, AND condition scoring is apparently broken in pan ATM, 
tho I'm almost positive it worked at one point, so OR condition scoring 
is what we get, tho with a bit of ingenuity it's possible to do pretty 
much the same thing using a combination of scores.)

If you'd like a more practical example than the one there, I've posted 
some detailed excerpts from mine several times in the past.  Here's one 
such post from 2007 (the first one I happened to find, gmane's list2news 
interface, which is how I follow this list, adds a header with a link to 
the web version, so once I found the post in my message cache (which is 
unexpiring for text groups), I could just check that header to get the 
web link to post):
