I think the question is more: “will machines be able to engrave scores that
don’t need tweaks or human correction at all.”
Maybe, but in my opinion — except if you implement something like an AI —
it will never have the difference that makes traditional engraving so
lovely (everything is not perfectly aligned and straight, whatever).

Yours,
