Let's find this word in the dictionary.
Originally, making an transcription means:
to convert a representation of language to another representation.
An example: the phonetic symbols in the dictonary are a transcription of the original word.
The (linguistic) term transcription can easily be applied to music. Transcribing then becomes:
to adapt a composition for a voice or instrument other than the original.
On this website you'll only find transcriptions of (a cappella) songs of vocalgroups. If you'd review my background, you can see why.
