I see the function, and it looks pretty simple, not much different from the 
original ruby implementation.  What I am missing is the code that calls this 
function...
From your comment for the commit you have implemented the code pretty deep 
within the Amarok engine, as score scripts were not common (I also only know 
of 2).  I would understand that the function would be called on track change, 
and that the engine would pass the oldScore and playCount (retreived from 
current track, before the track actually changed), and the playedFraction 
would also be available before change of track.
Are there any plans on making available to scripts the last played track? and 
percentage of track played?
This would be useful for other scripts such as web services like last.fm (I 
know that it is implemented in c++).  Sites, or user could implement upload of 
statistics for their web site of choice, and ignore the ones they skip.

I'm sure there is.. someone just responded with a suggestion for archive.org 
that I will look at, and see if I am up for the challenge, but I might be off 
to bed soon

Thanks heaps
