To the wisdom of the list:

I am working for a publisher who wants to name me as an engraver. He insists that it should say, in English:

Music setting by Johannes Gebauer

To me this sounds as though I set, ie arranged the music. All I did was the engraving, I had no part in the arrangement.

Shouldn't it say "Music Engraving by Johannes Gebauer"?

Thanks for your insights.

Johannes

I agree with you that it should say "Music Engraving" and not "Music Setting" which as you say would to many people indicate that you did the arranging.

However, the term "Music Typesetting" would also be possible with no misunderstanding, but I would hold out for "Music Engraving."
