The Vizitka is a Python package that uses the music21 and the pandas library to build a flexible system for writing computational music analysis programs. Examples of how to use the program can be found in the different indexers in the indexers folder. If you need any assistance using this program, or if you think that automating something would make it easier to use the program, please just ask me about it and I'll see what I can do.

The Vizitka has three core software dependencies. These are required:
These are recommended dependencies:
- numexpr (improved performance for pandas)
- Bottleneck (improved performance for pandas)
- tables (HDF5 output for pandas)
- openpyxl (Excel output for pandas)
- mock (for testing)
- coverage (for testing)
- python-coveralls (to for automated coverage with coveralls.io)
At the moment there is no guarantee that everything is documented, but most indexers are well documented and the Readme file covers the basics of how to use Vizitka.
