Is there a site, or program, that can calculate how many total notes are in a composition?
I'm new to music. It's very interesting to me how musicians can memorize so many pieces. I'm a mathematics student and naturally I'm interested in quantifying things.

To keep things simple, lets say we have one movement from a sonata, for example the first movement of Bach's violin sonata 1.

I'm sure most compositions are now "typed" up into some music composition software. I'm interested in seeing how many actual notes are in a composition. Is there a site or program that can compute this?

One possible tool for such musicological calculations is the music21 library for Python web.mit.edu/music21/
