Back in the early days of game development, where programming the music in assembly language was the only option, some developers would hire professional musicians to write music for their games. However, said musicians had no programming experience, and instead had to give the programmers some tangible form of their music (IE sheet music or a tape recording), and a programmer with some musical knowledge would painstakingly program it into the game.
