Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Grant is an engraving specialist, QA engineer and composer with a decade of experience blending music, notation technology and software testing. Trained at the Norwegian Academy of Music (Master’s in Film Music Composition), he pairs deep practical knowledge of Dorico, Sibelius and other notation tools with hands-on programming skills in C++, Python and Bash. He has supported major music tech projects—testing Dorico at Steinberg—and now contributes to MuseScore Studio’s engraving team, bringing both editorial rigor from roles at national libraries and commercial publishers and technical curiosity from self-built notation tools. Comfortable switching between composing, copyediting and tooling, he routinely transforms manuscripts into publish-ready digital editions and writes utilities to streamline those workflows. Based in Sant Cugat del Vallès with a background in Oslo, he combines academic composition credentials with real-world QA and engraving practice—an unusual mix that makes him fluent in both musical intent and software behavior.
