Penyusun

Penyusun is an Indonesian noun referring to a person who composes, arranges, or compiles something. Derived from the verb susun (to arrange or compile) with the agentive suffix -en, it denotes the doer of the action. The term is neutral and widely used across fields.

In music, penyusun commonly means a composer or songwriter—someone who creates melodies, harmonies, and often contributes to lyrics; it can also denote an arranger who prepares the musical arrangement for performance. In this sense, a penyusun may work with performers, lyricists, or other composers, and the term emphasizes authorship of the musical work rather than execution.

In legislative and policy contexts, penyusun refers to the drafter or compiler of documents such as bills, regulations, or strategies. The label can apply to individuals or teams responsible for drafting text, organizing arguments, and structuring proposals before submission to decision-makers.

In publishing or information work, penyusun can indicate a compiler or editor who assembles texts, notes, or data into a coherent product. In IT or programming discourse, the phrase may be used informally to refer to someone who writes or arranges code, though more specific terms like programmer or developer are common.

The term is gender-neutral and formal. Its precise meaning depends on context, but it consistently signals the role of creating, arranging, or organizing a substance into a coherent whole.
