I agree with you. Even "Engraving by Johannes Gebauer" should be
sufficient. "Setting" does sound like some kind of realisation or

to music.
I guess the reason he doesn't want to use this is because it isn't
actually engraved - it is done using a computer. Is there any other
word which might be used, which applies to the computer "setting"
of music?
His argument is that "music setting" corresponds to "type setting".
Hey, there are all kinds of expressions that don't correspond to
their original meanings any more, like "track" even on a cassette or
CD instead of an LP, "... Press" for a publisher that doesn't use a
printing press, "font foundry" for a company that designs fonts to be
used by a computer rather than lead type, the list goes on.
Is English his first language?
