Hi, Nancy! In general, you'll want to score freeform loaves in order to prevent them from breaking apart in unseemly ways. If you like the rustic look of a crack-topped loaf, though, feel free to skip the scoring! It's just a different style. You'll want to flour your banneton in order to get those lovely lines on your loaves regardless of whether or not you decide to score your loaf. Happy baking!
