Usefulness does not come into play here as long as there is a standard.
The PDF standard states:
Key Type Value
Author text string (Optional) The name of the person who created the
document.
“[T]he person who created the document” is extremely ambiguous. Is “the
document” the composition, the score, the arrangement... ? The
philosophers with whom I work can (and do!) spend years debating these
things.
The shortest realistic answer is that whoever creates the PDF decides
who the “author” of that PDF is; if they don’t care enough to credit
someone else, then it’s them, or no one at all.
