Definition
谱写 literally means 'to compose and write' and is used for creating music, songs, or extended metaphorically to mean 'to write (a chapter, a story)' in a grand or figurative sense. It is a formal, literary verb — you wouldn't use it for everyday writing like a letter or an email. The object is typically a piece of music (曲子, 乐章) or a figurative achievement (篇章, 历史).
v.
to compose (music, a song)(figurative) to write (a chapter, a story, a history)
