Writing about Partitur?

Everything here may be used to write about Partitur: the text, the logo, the app icon and the screenshots. No need to ask first, and no need to credit more than “Partitur”.

AIn a sentence, and in a paragraph

One sentence
Partitur shows what is inside a recording: its beats, bars, chords, key, sections and loudness on one playable score, on your own computer, for free.
One paragraph
Partitur is a free, open-source desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux that reads a recording the way a musician would. Drop in a song and it maps the beats, bars, chords, key, sections and loudness onto one score you can play, loop, slow down and engrave as sheet music. It is made for practising and for the stage: setlists, a stage view readable across a room, the chart on every band member's phone, hands-free page turns, and a plugin that shows the chords in a DAW. The analysis runs on the musician's own computer; heavier models can run on a GPU when they choose to send a song there.

The mark is a P set on a staff with a vermilion bar: the app's “now”. Give it room (at least its own width on each side), keep it one colour on photographs, and don't recolour the bar.
