The part object

Type: Dictionary

The part object represents a set of measures which describe a single part within the score — generally corresponding to a single instrument. The sequence of measures must match the measures found in the "global" object.

Keys:

Name	Type	Required?	Description
"id"	id object	No	An optional ID for this part. This is used by other elements in the same MNX document in cases when they need to refer to a specific part (or parts).
"measures"	An array of part measure objects	No
"name"	part name object	No	An optional name for this part. Notation software might use this in instrument-selection UI, and/or it might be rendered to the left of this part's staves (see the "staff" object).
"shortName"	part short name object	No	An optional abbreviated name for this part. Notation software might use this in instrument-selection UI, and/or it might be rendered to the left of this part's staves (see the "staff" object). For example, the system in a piece of music might use the name "Guitar", while subsequent systems might use the abbreviated "Gtr." instead.
"smuflFont"	smufl font object	No	The SMuFL-compliant font to be used to render notational objects in this part. Can be overridden by certain child elements.
"staves"	staff count object	No	The number of staves that this part uses. For example, use the value 2 for a grand staff (as used in piano music). If not provided, the default is 1.
