Hello everyone, there has been a change in the way that partitions-accordeon stores scores. Partitions-accordeon does not store the scores anymore. These are now hosted on a third party service. For more security and reliability.
All the partitions are not yet targeted, they are in transfer between the 2 services.
This has two implications:
- By adding a partition, as I was noticed, there is a slightly additional waiting time once the partition is sent (the time to clone it on the remote service)
- By downloading, if the partition is on the remote service it will be directly downloaded from it.
I would have liked to have your feedback, on the execution time, I received a message in mp telling me that it was slow. On my side after several tests, the processing times seem acceptable.
Thank you for expressing yourself on the subject :)
Sincerely,Slade

Hello Slade,
I hope you are well.
As far as downloading sheet music is concerned, I have no problem with the time, it is super fast even for books with a lot of mega.
It must be said that I have internet by fiber optic cable which speeds up the system.
But well, not everyone has fiber....
Have a nice day.

Thanks for your feedback. Egome, if you have empty files you can try again. Is it systematic on the same partition? Do you manage to download? When you talk about minutes, is it on the upload or download? It may also be that the site is currently slower than usual due to the migration of partitions that run in parallel. They are not all migrated for the moment. Only 15% and all the new partitions that are added every day.
I will try to improve the system as much as possible.thank you for your understanding,and please continue to report in this topic the problems you could encounter, even if they have already been mentioned. So that I can measure the number of people affected.

Hello slade,
Yes, I tried again (the 3 named partitions) before, but nothing download (registration: file name, 0 KB), only action "view" was operable. Now download the 3 partitions it is OK again! Although slower than before...
(Jodi) The current *reduced* velocity is not a problem of fiber optic cable or not, it's a problem of "before and after" with the same configuration... As far as the "before" is concerned, until now I never had problems with download velocity...
When I talked about minutes, it was between clicking "download" and receiving e.g. "sheets-André Verchuren & Jo Moutet & Jacques Hourdeaux & Roger Desbois - L'Amour c'est la santé (Orchestration Complète) (Disco)". Now no delay, that being no download! (registration: file name, 0 KB)...
This is a problem, which we had once...

Hello slade,
Unfortunately the current modifications seem to have no effect here.
The delay between clicking "download" and the beginning of the download (today's common scores) is not satisfactory anymore. Until now the reaction was immediate, now I have to wait for some time (for each score!). This seems not to be a problem in case of an isolated download, but it is an unpleasant situation in case of a daily and intensive use as I do regularly (for pure interest). Not to mention that there are many "useless" partitions per day to identify them...
Also the own download even for scores of several MB (mostly unnecessary enormity) seems to be slower now.
And again today, the download 1st time: "D.Molary & Francesco Gabutti - El Muletero (Paso doble)" = download 0KB (which I cannot perceive "directly"); by discovering it the re-download it works...
I am very unhappy with these developments! In the past all this was without problems. Now I only have to use the shift at least 3-5 times for each score... and the result may be 1 interesting score per day...

Hi EgoMe, I will continue to improve things. Sorry for the inconvenience. If you want to get an idea of the partitions, the view button is also for that before downloading.
I would also like to remind you that the purpose of p-a is not to "empty" the partitions. But to take the one that seems to interest you. Nevertheless I will try to improve the system.
Don't forget also that p-a is at the same time duplicating the partitions to the second server, which may temporarily slow things down more than it will be the case once the migration is finished in a few days.

Hello slade,
thank you for your efforts to RECONSTITUTE the comfortable past function. I don't suppose that my (paid) use of P.A. is in contradiction with the rules...?
My goal is definitely not to "empty" the scores (mostly not of interest), but to identify and then take one of the few that interest me, either!
The "problem" of the "view" button is that you can look at it and NOTHING else. If the score is suitable and I think to download the score it is necessary to return and "download" IN ADDITION - another additional vacation! Action "view" (here) takes the same shift as "download" - so, anti-saving (for all!) by using action "view" first...
By the way, at the moment there is almost a block of download and view actions...

Hi egoMe, there is no question of breaking the rules. I'm not saying that there is a rule violation, I'm just saying that once the score is displayed, you have the possibility to download the score without going back.
I am doing my best to improve the situation, but at the moment you are the only person who tells me that I am still unable to download.
Please be a little patient so that I can improve the system. You are unable to download?

Hello again slade,
only one answer in conclusion, because you recommended that (quote) "once the score is displayed you have in one of the corners the possibility to download the score without going back."
Yes, but by doing so the score (e.g.) "Henry Vallois, Marche des accordéonistes Nivernais (1.71 mb) 11-07-2016" becomes "1468224292_3007.pdf"... very useful...

Hi EgoMe, I am totally open to suggestions and aware that there may be problems and that's why this topic was opened.
My only reaction was on your criticism that it doesn't work like before knowing that you were paying for the use of Partitions-accordeon.com
I just ask for a little patience and understanding :)
I remind you that I am the only one to program p-a that there are thousands of downloads per day, 35 000 scores to transfer trying that nothing breaks and that everyone can continue to use the website.
All this to say that I can't make everything work perfectly as fast as if I had a full team working on p-a.
My goal is obviously to get everything working properly, and that's why I was asking if you could give me as much detail as possible about the problems you're having uploading.
You mentioned 0kb files, does this always happen? Is it only on certain files? Is it constant or only periodic? In short, any information that could be useful to me to try to solve the problem.
For the problem of file name once downloaded via the view option, I will look at where it comes from and I thank you for reporting it.

Everything is "Nickel" for me, no problem to "See or Download" a possible score.
It's the same for the Forum, it's rolling as Jean Gabin would say.
Take your time Slade to put everything in motion according to your objectives, nothing is useful to run, but there will be eternally impatient.....

Good evening Mr. EgoMe,
Reading all your posts on the subject, I understand very well that you notice some slowness anomalies due to the migration of the scores which Slade does everything possible to satisfy all the P-A members.
I did not expressly accuse you of being an impatient person, but reading you, all your downloads should go as fast as possible, it's your choice.
As for me, I take the time to take my time, in two words: Take life on the right side.
Sorry again if I offended you.
Have a nice evening.

Indeed, since a good eight days, the download has become very slow. I attributed this unfortunate change to my computer which is relatively old (Mac OS X 5.4), but, by consulting the Forum, I had the key to the problem.

Indeed, I too have been experiencing slowness for some time regarding the download, and even I will say that the download is not always done; I find myself with a file at "O".Before, I had no problem; When I want to "see" before downloading, very often, I have nothing...the page is empty....I am obliged to download and then to delete if it does not suit me.... but it is not serious, I am patient... I can understand the difficulty that Slade encounters to perfect "Our P.A site".....Let us be indulgent and patient... Thanks to SladeVernonait

Hello everyone,
I too wondered why, when I was uploading, the daisy would drag from time to time (most of the time, it's fine).
So I do like Cindou: I end up stopping the download, after having checked that I had "deposited a new partition" was displayed.
So far, the members download it without any complaint. I guess it's OK for them.
It would be up to Slade (the only one who can do this?) to check if it is stored on the new hosting.
Would it be helpful to tell him which of the deposited partitions have "lingered"?
I'm willing to do it if it helps, even if only temporarily.

Nevertheless I trust your technicians to solve these problems and consequently I have just renewed my subscription.

Thanks for your feedback becquerel, there are indeed still some problems of slowness. These problems will be addressed. For the time being the transfer of the partitions has to be finished before I can start optimizing the process. 3 to 5000 partitions have been transferred to the new system every day for a while now. 20,000 partitions have been migrated at the time of writing, which is a long time, because it's not just about moving them but also about updating the details of each one. I'll post here as soon as the migration is finished and the optimization will follow :-)

Hello everyone, improvements have been made in the system of adding / downloading partitions.
- The "rosette" during the addition should disappear in a few seconds (the partitions are not added directly on the remote server in real time but in deferred).
- Downloads should be faster / more reliable. I have improved the code and implemented some checks to avoid corrupted files.
Please let me know if this fixes the problems some of you were experiencing.

I read the forum, I did not see my observation, so here it is:
A very slow access to the tab "Partitions" (5 mn at least) and, after the title, a very slow access (5mn at least) to the "search". The first times I thought it was crashed, but there I let it run (playing the accordion!)
After the download itself, is normal (considering my 250kb/sec)
All the other tabs are working fine, only the "Scores" is not working.
Sincerely
and thanks for the work !

Hi EgoMe, it seemed to me that the speed was solved for everyone. I'll see if there are other possible improvements.For the filenames by making see, I tried a lot of modifications and information gleaned from right and left without success. All the settings are in place to make the title the right one but the pdfs readers refuse to take it into account. I will continue to look at where the problem may lie but I confess I am stumped.

Again me ... I was able to download partitions without problem (at 1:45 pm this Wednesday, September 7)
For the files of size lower than 1,9 MO, all is well... (One can load them then read them).
For those which exceed this size, one can also load them, but they are all brought back to the size of 1,9 MO (what intrigued me a little), but impossible to open them >>>message: "Impossible to open the file...It is perhaps corrupted or of a not recognized format" (as well with the software Preview as with Photoshop Element).
Hoping that these indications will be able to help you, I renew my encouragements to you.

For those which exceed this size, one can also load them, but they are all brought back to the size of 1,9 MO (what intrigued me a little), but impossible to open them >>>message: "Impossible to open the file...It is perhaps corrupted or of a not recognized format" (as well with the software Preview as with Photoshop Element).
Hoping that these indications will be able to help you, I renew my encouragements to you.

Hello !
Indeed, for me, the download does not work anymore. It's hard to describe all the bugs I encounter.
For example, I just wanted a score (Kaoma La Lambada (59.17 KB)), but either "View" shows me a blank page, or "Download" does nothing or sends me an error message. Finally saved it but it won't open: here is the message when I try to open it: Adobe Acrobat DC could not open "Kaoma - La Lambada.pdf", because the file type is not supported or the file is damaged (it was sent as an attachment and was not decoded correctly, for example).
Before, I had no problem.
Good luck to the team in solving all these problems, as I imagine it's a real headache!

Hello slade,
the situation is getting crazy!
Yesterday we could finally use "view" to view AND download right now with the own score name (thanks - very good!).
But today you can only "download" but cannot "view"; instead you have to read "File in transfer. The file will be available in a few days. Sorry for the inconvenience"... while downloading is working (still slowly) - it's about the score of DID95, Vianney & Joyce Jonathan - Les filles d'aujourd'hui - 08-09-2016, and all the scores before(!), but not after...

I think we are on the right track, the download is working very well tonight (and the problem with files > 1.9 MB seems to be solved);
So "big bravo" and recognition to the work done. Thanks again

Between two millings...continuation of the problem of books repositories.
Most of them are several tens of Mb and so far no problem....so why limit to 10 Mb.
I suggest if you agree 100 Mb if you want to limit the loading.

Good evening to all I could read that I was not the only one to be able to "see" then "download" the books of more than 38 mb I tried several times since the 19th of September with the usual browser and then with Edge The result is the same but this time there was an indication that was "HTTP error 500" This can be an indication to facilitate things? Thanks for the work already done

Hello Egome, I ask you for more details because I test myself the downloads on my side with a bad internet connection and they are displayed almost instantly for the lightest and with a few seconds of delay when the files are several mb. Hence my question about your choice of word "immensely slow". There are thousands of downloads every day.
The download is and will be slower than before because the infrastructure has changed. For the best, the files are stored elsewhere, where they are never likely to disappear. Unless other people can confirm it, I think "immensely slow" is a bit of an exaggeration...

Hello slade,
obviously you are a politician - you don't want to perceive any facts, you seem convinced of YOUR world. As you say: "The download is and will be slower than before because the infrastructure has changed. For the better..." ... slower for the better of whom??? Winning and concluding like that is really too simple...
You always ask for "details" from everybody, but you forget that YOU are the one who acts and transforms here. WE are not professionals, we can only warn... And if you don't want to listen to this... it's pointless!
Unfortunately! I consider leaving...

EgoMe,
I ask for details, because details are what solve problems. I just don't base it on my world. I try to solve the problems that come to me and I don't think I need to prove it. Many bugs are regularly solved. Whether they are reported here, by mail or by private message.
I am not a politician, I am a programmer. "My world" is the only way I have to test the website outside your experience. That's why I ask for more details. I had been pointed out problems with the files of more than 50mo, that I investigated with the adequate details (name of partitions for example) and that it seemed to me to have solved, I still had an inaccessible file to go up that I investigate.
When I ask you for details I ask you. Which browser do you use? What does immensely slow mean to you? Is it related to the size of the files? What internet connection do you have? That kind of stuff. I'm not a magician, I need to find out where things are going wrong to try to get things unstuck. I apologize if that wasn't clear to you.
When I say for the best, I mean for the best of everyone. I have absolutely no personal interest in having made the changes I did. It involved big changes, with the problems that followed and it is a separate hosting that also adds costs.
This was done for the betterment of the site, to ensure the continuity of the scores no matter what happens with me or the website. Whether it's legal or anything else. If tomorrow the server crashes completely and nothing is recoverable. P-A will survive.
So of course there is a trade-off. The files are no longer on P-A's server and must be uploaded from the host to P-A's server and then automatically transferred to the user who requested the file. I am in contact with the host to see if it is not possible to directly transfer the file without going through the P-A server but in the current state of affairs this is not possible unless all files are made public, which is not a solution. If the cloud company gives me a solution, I would be the first to implement it. Until then it's not technically possible, and yes downloads are slower. But I find that "IMMENSELY slow" is immensely exaggerated, at least from "my world" and thus my tests on P-A.
So yes, I'm asking for details to try to see what I can do concretely to improve the problem, to see if alternative solutions can be put in place and especially to see if there is a problem. If you could see the number of emails I receive telling me that things are not working and finally telling me that the problem was not with the website but with the people themselves.
It seems like you think my goal is to annoy you or to make you go around in circles. This is obviously not the case. I want to remind you that there is not a team of developers behind p-a tracking down bugs and possible improvements. There is only me. So yes things take longer.
partitions-accordeon.com doesn't have the system infrastructure of google or amazon nor the means to acquire it. So I do with what I can, hopefully as best as I can. I also try to find a balance between performance and security. I remind you that even if most of the scores are royalty free, not all of them are, that p-a has no legal existence and after spending a lot of time researching it probably never will due to the nature of the website itself. In this kind of circumstance the P-A server could very well be down the day I don't respond fast enough to some publishing house. It is important in this kind of circumstance that the files remain available even if it means sacrificing some download speed.
I understand that this can be frustrating from a user point of view but I ask you to try to consider all aspects of the problem.
If you decide to leave I find it sad for P-A but unfortunately I don't see what I can do about it.

hello slade,
all this is obvious! And I am not an (IT)idiot, yes. But if I tell you that the delay often is unacceptable here, and sometimes so "immensely", so much I know that I say... anything it looks like on you! Accept it or let it stay, but don't try to make the problem disappear or tell me I don't understand anything! I don't apply a timer, and I have no idea why sometimes the delay is "immensely" (more than 5 minutes to "see" a thin score, and not by downloading large MBs - is that enough for you??)... And I don't know why this server is more "reliable" than that one (it's an organizational matter), and I don't want to discuss the legal problem any more (do you remember that you once told me that it is not my problem!). But I (and everyone else!) can definitely see that the problems started the moment you changed PA, so it's obvious who is responsible... I don't think that the problem is created locally here, because it only happens with PA!
Period!

I never said that the problem didn't exist nor did I try to make it go away... I always said that downloads might be slower with the new architecture, at least until I could implement something to mitigate the effects.
No indeed the legal aspect is not your problem. But you tell me that it's too easy to conclude without details and you ask me for whose benefit. So I'll explain.
If you had started by telling me that you had 5min waits on partitions of minimal weight we would have already moved on because that means that this slowdown is not related to the new upload system you are pointing at but probably to a peak period or a bottleneck that I will be able to diagnose in the p-a server configuration. The symptoms of the new hosting system would cause a slowdown proportional to the file size and never so much waiting for such small files. That's why I'm asking for details, it's not for the pleasure of bothering you.

Hello slade,
you are right. Unfortunately so far I haven't distinguished between the "view" and "upload" functions (afterwards), but I have judged the whole process collectively. I would have guessed rather the problem in the area of the "new cohabitation" of the two servers, but if you start from a bottleneck at the AP server, then maybe the following observation - regularly applying the function "see" - can help:
When I start to "see" the latest partitions, the ones with today's date(!), the display is usually fast. If I then continue "see" on the other new scores, but dated yesterday(!), there is suddenly a CAPITAL slowdown of the display. The download afterwards (directly from "see") seems to happen regularly at a reasonable speed. Like today too...

Hello to all and especially to EgoMe, this is what is called good timing.
I have just implemented a solution that was suggested by the backup company. The slowness problems should no longer exist! Wow.
However, due to the implemented system, the first person to download or view a partition will suffer from the same slowness as before. But all subsequent downloads and views will be as fast as before the changes.
Thanks, always report any bugs to me!
