Abstract
This demo paper introduces partitura, a Python package for handling symbolic musical information. The principal aim of this package is to handle richly structured musical information as conveyed by modern staff music notation. It provides a much wider range of possibilities to deal with music than the more reductive (but very common) piano roll-oriented approach inspired by the MIDI standard. The package is an open source project and is available on GitHub.
