May 2025 monthly summary for CPJKU/partitura: Focused on performance, data fidelity, and maintainability. Delivered major speedups for Part.iter_all with API cleanup, enabling faster score iteration and more predictable behavior. Fixed MIDI import fidelity by preserving the original order of time and key signatures within each part, increasing determinism and correctness of loaded scores. Updated CHANGES and docs to reflect speedups and potential ordering differences when class ordering is not specified, improving developer clarity and downstream expectations. Reduced maintenance burden by removing legacy iteration utilities (iter_subclasses) and consolidating iteration logic. Technologies demonstrated include Python optimization, refactoring for performance, API cleanup, data-order preservation, and comprehensive documentation/testing practices.
