Hello to all,
another important message, as you must have noticed today, you have probably all received several incomprehensible mails that should never have been sent, error on my part while I was testing things...
The consequences of this mail were quite unexpected, in particular, several people went on the new site and contributed...
What still generated consequences, because I had to migrate all the scores on the new site at 4am -_-, so that the people who contributed did not do it for nothing!
All of this brings me to a case of ethical conscience, because it is not normal that these few people have paid for a content that is still free, in addition to not being ethical it would be quite dishonest of me.
So I decided to put the new website online in the next few days. So that everyone is on an equal footing and that P-A starts again on a balanced basis for all the people registered on the site.
All major sections are functional, as explained in the discussion titled [IMPORTANT] New Site Summary. I'm going to work on fixing the bugs I may run into, and fixing the various dead links and problems.
As soon as all these minor changes are finished, the transition will be made to the new site which will evolve with time and your feedback!
In that sense, a lot of spelling mistakes have been mentioned (I've never been particularly good at it.), if some of you during your exploration of the new site find some, I'll be happy to correct them if I receive notification, either on the support email address ([email protected]) or by private message.
Thanks to all of you!

good evening Slade
don't worry too much ... sites with spelling mistakes, there are .... but I promise you (I only have a baccalaureate in philosophy and my partner is an elementary school principal ...)
I'll bring you back anything that might shock my eyes ...
(I don't count the typing errors when writing a word !)
Unfortunately, I can also make mistakes: NO ONE IS PERFECT !!!!
Be sure that you can count on some of us who care about this site!

friends, the REAL ones I call you to put a small word of encouragement ....

We are talking about the spelling of the texts of the site in general, not the content written by the users :)
Otherwise it is indeed endless.

Hello,
as the development on the new site progresses, the migration date is getting closer, and it is appropriate to give an update on the state of the new site, the functionalities as well as the less funny part, the cost...
Features : Forum - The forum remains the same, but a system of categories has been added, which allows to better classify the subjects and to find them more easily - The search is now also available on the forum, allowing to search a topic via its title or its content and / or its category. - A system of important subjects was set up, thus avoiding the "UP" which will not be tolerated any more.
- The requests for partitions are done via a special interface, in the forum. Thus by clicking on the button "make a request for a score", you will be asked to specify the artist and the title. A search will be automatically performed to check if the requested score is not already in the existing scores, if not the request will be posted in the forum. - The score requests have now a button "mark as resolved" which allows to put automatically a request as resolved and to sort in the forum, the display of topics and requests (filter by resolved / pending resolution) - Many of you include youtube links in your posts, they are now automatically converted to video inside the post. Scores - Scores now have a download counter so you can see which ones are the most popular. - The extension of the scores (pdf, img, zip etc..) are now directly displayed in the score list - Several genres can be associated to a score, so it will now be possible to search for "waltzes", "tango" etc... - Each score has a link to indicate if the score is missing or not, and allow me to clean up more efficiently. - Adding a score is similar to a score request, so once the artist and the title have been entered, a search will be done automatically to check if the score already exists on the site. And so, I hope, avoid a lot of duplicates. - The score search system has not changed much, it is only more efficient and more visible on the page and allows to search by artist, title, genre, type (chromatic, diatonic). - The download is now more secure, avoiding that the links of the scores are found everywhere on the internet. - The weight of the scores will be indicated (I'm doing this soon), so you can quickly know if a score is heavy to download or not. News - A system of news has been set up, allowing to make articles on, on one side partitions-accordeon.com and on the other side the world of the accordion or the music in general. If people are interested to write news, they can contact me by private message. The more writers there will be, the more partitions-accordeon will become a relevant site on the accordion world news! :) - All news can of course be commented and shared on social networks. Profile and Emails - The profile page has been expanded and you will now be invited to enter your country and city (this is of course not mandatory) in order to find accordionists near you and why not organize a jam session! - Your preferred language can be set, it will be the language in which the website will be displayed (French or English), so that our little English-speaking friends will have the possibility to interact with you without asking an existing member to be the interpreter. - A more complex and flexible notification system is in place to control exactly what you want to receive by email. So you can be notified when someone replies to one of your topics, to a topic you participated in, when you receive a private message, if someone posts a score you requested etc... - Each member has a public profile, where you can easily find the topics he created, those he participated in etc... like on a real forum :) Private message - Private messages are now organized like a thread, allowing you to easily find the order of messages sent and received on different topics. Classes, Classifieds and Music Spaces - Are currently under construction and will appear after the launch. Chat - The cat's fate will be decided at the last moment. Dues As discussed in the topic about the new website, the majority of the participants had agreed on a membership fee of 15 euros per year. It will be available as a "premium subscription" which will bring a lot of advantages. The biggest of them being the download of scores. The other advantages are :
- Complete disappearance of all advertisements - Access to courses (future) - Access to classified ads (future) - Possibility to create a music space when the regular member can only consult the existing music spaces. As P-A evolves and stays on the internet, the traffic increases, the number of users increases and so does the time, means, money and material. Not to mention the support. The membership fee is therefore introduced in order to compensate for all this, and to allow the site to continue to evolve and I hope in the right direction, for everyone, to offer you a more pleasant and better managed site. I hope that all these changes as well as the future ones will be a sufficient counterpart for the implementation of the contributions. If you see things I forgot to mention or do, feel free to talk about it in this topic. Thanks to all of you!
