You should take a look at some of Beethoven's manuscript corrections, or what he considered a fair copy.

Diligence of proof reading varied by composer.  Liszt carefully went through publishers' proofs with a fine-tooth comb.  Chopin didn't have much patience for proofing, and it shows, as Chopin editions have so many variances among them.  So it depends on the composer.
