Does engraved mean written by hand all the time?
No. When applied to music, engraved simply is the opposite of handwritten. Hence computer-generated files, as well as music created from hand-engraved metal plates, are all referred to as "engraved".

   "Moreover it's also free (as in "speech") software.  "
as in "speech". What does this mean?
In English, the word "free" means both gratis and libre. "Free as in free beer" means gratis; "Free as in free speech" means libre. In the software world, this means that not only is a piece of GPL software cost-free (gratis), but it is also free of legal encubrance (libre).

 (q.v., just about any Warner Bros. score, and even many of the
 most recent by "the old houses"). [..]
