Music typesetting - or engraving - is essentially the transformation of a handwritten manuscript into a typeset, printable music score. Detail is imperative in this practice, and every note and articulation must be exactly as the writer of the manuscript intended. Modern typesetting is possible thanks to computer software (and its designers), and since the purpose of engraving is to give the music a professional typeset appearance, an advanced knowledge of this software is essential. I am able to typeset music from handwritten manuscript to a very high standard, using Sibelius (recommended for formal uses such as publishing), or Musescore (recommended for casual and home use).
