A copyist is a person who makes written copies. In ancient times, a
scrivener was also called a calligraphus (pl. calligraphi). The term's
modern use is almost entirely confined to music copyists, who are
employed by the music industry to produce neat copies from a composer or
arranger's manuscript.

Until the 1990s, most copyists worked by hand to *write out scores and
individual instrumental parts neatly*, using a calligraphy pen,
manuscript paper, and often a ruler. In the 1990s, copyists began using
scorewriters - computer programs which are the music notation equivalent
of a word processor. (Such programs include Finale , Sibelius or GNU
LilyPond).

Both handwritten and computer-based copying require a significant
understanding of musical notation, music theory, the musical styles and
conventions of different styles of music (e.g., regarding appropriate
ornamentation), and strong attention to detail and past conventions.

 
Ludwig van Beethoven had a contentious relationship with his copyists,
who often made mistakes that have remained uncorrected until the advent
of Urtext editions; some musicologists have devoted a lot of effort to
identifying Beethoven's copyists.

writing music for the jazz band which was the original Glenn Miller Band:
