I'd try to turn around that question: are there any major film composers who have NOT scored more than one film per actor? That would be way more tricky, I think.
So obviously, any composer who scored only one movie, like Leonard Bernstein, qualifies. :-)
But as soon as you turn to more regular, major film composers, who scored at least a handful of movies... are there any who have no actor (leading or supporting role) appear in more than one movie they scored?

Nicolai, I think that might actually be easier. The easiest of them all would be to list famous composers and actors who have NO films in common, opening the floodgates for the Mel Gibson-Max Steiner non-partnerships. So I think you're right in saying that they should have ONE film only in both their filmographies.
Again that might be less tricky than it first seems, if we find an actor (or composer) nearing the end of his/her career and another just starting out. This is very much just off the top of my head, but what about say Robert DeNiro and Bernard Herrmann?
It might be more "difficult" if we stick to decades and countries, or at least continents, which both artists shared. Come to think of it, that way we could do a "zero-in-common" list.
I've just re-read what I wrote, and I'm not sure I understand it.
But if I DO understand it, what about taking 1960 to 1980 and finding a very prolific/ popular actor/ actress working constantly throughout those two decades, largely Hollywood-based, and yet never having appeared in a movie scored by Jerry Goldsmith?
ADDED A BUT LATER - Not quite 1960 to 1980, but let's say 1970 to 1990...Did Goldsmith ever score a Robert DeNiro film?

Goldsmith never scored a De Niro movie and only one starring Al Pacino, Meryl Streep, and Dustin Hoffman

1970 to 1990 was a peak period for both Jerry Goldsmith and Robert Redford, but, if memory serves, their paths didn't cross during these two decades...
