At least, back in those days the composer didn't have to do the typesetting himself of score and parts. Publishers did work for their cut of the royalties.
AFAIK most publisher still do the typesetting if the composer doesn't want to do it him/herself. But you don't get paid for the typesetting if you don't do it yourself. That's one of the reasons most composers choose to do it themselves.
The composers at my publisher have different workflows. Some write the score by hand and let the publisher typeset both the score and parts. Most do the score in Finale or Sib and the parts as well. Some do only in the score in Fin/Sib and let someone else typeset the parts.
I have actually done all my typesetting (score and parts) up to now. But my publisher thought I should let someone else do it and focus on composing.

That's a rather sensitive issue I'm afraid...
The truth is that some can be relied upon but some not... (Don't tell anyone I said that!)

I only recently saw the video that Jari linked to. I've seen the other Henle film which has a bit of engraving, amongst other stuff. But this is fascinating and extraordinary. It really does show that music engraving is as much craft as science.
It's also proof that whatever Finale may be capable of, there will always be a need for manual adjustment.
When Herr Kühner says half-jokingly "I don't make mistakes", I'm prepared to believe him. How many people, despite the aid of computer software, can say the same?
I bought one of those Henle plates. It's hanging on the wall, and I look at it, whenever I get frustrated with Finale!

I got mine from JW Pepper, although this page may mean they are out of them. Worth a phone call, though.

Also, this is on the Henle website:
You can purchase original engraving frames – mounted on wood (HN 8011) or unmounted (HN 8010) - from your local dealer.
If you need any help, please contact us: sales@henle.com.

When I look at it, I'm reminded that whatever Fred Astaire did, Ginger Rogers did backwards, and in high heels!
