Hello to all,
We've just updated the website with a major upgrade!
You'll find the left-hand menu changed with 2 new additions: "Favorites" and "Library".
You can now add scores to your Favorites by clicking on the "heart" next to the score. Favored scores will appear in the "Favorites" page.
You can now browse the libraries of individual users via the "library" page. You can save a user's library for easy access later via "saved-lists" available on the library page.
We've also redesigned the libraries and their content.
A new version of the site in Italian has also just been launched and is available at https://www.spartiti-fisarmonica.com
If you're Italian, you'll find the entire site translated into Italian, as well as translations of the various community posts via machine translation.
We've also added the reviews we've received about the store.
We hope you enjoy these changes. As always, if you encounter any problems or have any suggestions, please contact us by email at [email protected] :)
Musically,
Slade

Hello,
For the moment, you can edit all your own publications, discussions, events, etc., except for scores (for technical reasons).

good evening themajo . I have just noticed the anomaly. I have talked to slade by personal message. as you must have seen in my comments following the REQUEST of a member romeo87 I managed to have it and published it immediately. He downloaded it. I just checked and indeed my publication is no longer there. I sent a personal message to Romeo87 who must have it and he will send it back to me by email.

Hello. It's good, I explain: to find the score you have to go to the PARTITIONS section on the P.A. site and type in the spelling QUAND ELL without the E and it works. Here is the anomaly solved.
following simplified publication of the title LES COLLINES DE MANDCHOURIE here is the link of the site proposing pdf for several instruments to download https://ca-va-jazzer.blog4ever.com/de-la-part-de-jean-les-partitions-pdf-pour-les-collines-de-manchouri

Hello to all,
Here are the last updates of the website:
- Big improvement of the search: The entered terms don't need to "follow" each other exactly to find results. For example "tango 20" will find "The tango of your 20 years".
- The links to the classified ads have been fixed. And in general the search on the classifieds has also been fixed and improved.
- The previews of the scores (often a grey square) have been fixed and the previews of all scores are currently being regenerated.
As usual, please let me know if you encounter any bugs or problems!
Have a nice holiday season,
Musically,
Slade

Ah, really great to not have to be ultra precise to find a score, that's ultra good ♫♫
Hello to all,
a little update to list the latest bugs that have been fixed (in case you've been paying attention!)
- Some image formats (jpeg) were not displayed on some posts.
- The youtube previews in some comments hidden by default were the wrong size.
- The "like" button on songs did not update automatically after clicking on it.
- The contact page for the mobile version of the website was empty
- The unsubscribe link for newsletters was displaying an error ("you're not allowed to do this") when trying to unsubscribe from some emails from this link.
- When adding a partition the genres were "emptied" after adding a file
- Still adding a score if the file was added before the genres, the latter was no longer taken into account.
- It was recently impossible to change its city on its profile
- The editing menu (on the ...) was displayed behind the content of the website
- The change of profile photo and the resizing / cropping of the latter was broken.
And probably other things I forgot.
Don't hesitate to contact us by mail and/or private message when you encounter bugs :)

Hello to all,
it is with great pleasure that I can "finally" show you the future P-A! I know I've been talking about a new version for a very long time and a lot of things have happened in the meantime that have delayed it.
2019 was the year of the new score-accordion, we spent most of it working full time on the website redesign. The goal was to keep all the functionality of the website while adding new things that should make your life easier.
The only thing that disappears is the chat, because it was very very little used and took a lot of resources for not much.
The heart of the website is now the news, which will summarize everything that happens on the site, discussions, new scores, classified ads etc... Each "news" can be commented. A number of new options are available for members, the ability to create events, add a requested score in one click etc.
A library system is coming
Due to the fact that most of you prefer to use the "view" function rather than the download, we thought that allowing you to save personal libraries, to help you during your performances / rehearsals would be an interesting possibility.
The future P-A mobile application will allow you to have your libraries with you everywhere in order to avoid printing/downloading them and to be able to read them directly via a tablet on the website during your performances.
You will be able to browse other members' libraries, copy them, share them etc...
In order to make the search and use of scores easier for you, you will now be able to search by genre and by instrument. Scores now have a system to indicate if they are original scores or not and in which key the score is written. Composers, performers, authors etc. are now individually identified on each score, which we hope will make Cindou's work easier in the future and allow a better classification! A youtube link can also be associated to a score, in order to easily have a visualization of the score without having to use an external service.
We have also decided to focus on members' compositions and to make P-A a place to find original music around the accordion. A real music player will allow you to listen to members' music, make playlists and show your appreciation for other website users' compositions/covers. The music profile is also now coupled to your profile on the website and is no longer a separate category.
Partitions-accordeon will also integrate a store, which I will tell you about in another post so as not to bombard too much information at once. There are also a lot of other improvements that we will tell you about as we go along :)
The redesign of the score-accordion has been in the works since the beginning of the year, it required several months of design, reflections and meetings in order to try to produce something that we hope will be as satisfying as possible for you. It also required a complete technical overhaul of the website and the system that powers it. As I write this we are talking about hundreds of files, and over 12,000 lines of code to power the new platform, which will also come with many improvements in the speed and fluidity of the platform as well as for us and for cindou in the administration of the website. The new website is not yet finished but we are in the final stretch and we can assure you that it will be available for you, at the latest in January.
In addition to all these new features, unfortunately another change is coming to the new P-A. Partition-accordion is now a team of 3 full time people, not counting the work provided daily by Cindou and the revenues from the website are not enough to compensate for all this, which leaves us all in a situation far from optimal for us and for P-A.
After deliberating for a long time on the issue, we had to take the decision to raise the subscription price to 24.99 euros per year for everyone. This was already the case for new subscribers and it would unify the subscription price and allow us to have a minimal remuneration that would allow us to continue to devote 100% of our time to the development and support of the platform and its community. This will also allow us to double P-A's participation in the annual fund for cindou! And also hopefully continue to increase this participation year after year, as it has been done since it was set up.
We understand that this is news that will not please you, but we think that the price (about 2€/month) remains affordable and in adequacy with the service offered. We hope you understand all this and we are here to answer your questions, criticisms, and any other form of feedback you want to give us :)
Thanks for reading this far, feel free to express your opinion on the new site, on the functional changes that will come, and on the price change. We hope you'll enjoy these few screenshots as much as we do :)
PS: I forgot to mention that the new site is fully adapted to tablets, and mobiles!

Hello,
The application will arrive after the launch of the site. But yes it is planned that the application will be for Android and iPhone.
As for "pay for them" I don't really see the connection. Everyone pays to download. They pay too it's not a zero sum game. Or someone wins so someone else loses in return.
On the new site, the depositions of scores can also be commented, hoping that it will allow more thanks for the time spent to deposit scores.

Hello,
There is already a system of resolution currently, but it implies that the person requesting the score revisits his topic to make it resolved. This is not always the case.
On the new site, we tried to think of how to improve the system. A button "I own this score" will be added to the requests, allowing the person who owns it to add it directly. This will notify the applicant.
The new site also has a real notification system that will allow the requester to know if his request has been solved and to mark it as such.
Hopefully this will make things better :)

Hello everyone,
In order to help you wait and to give you a bit more details about what's going on behind the scenes, I'll now post every Friday the progress of the week on the development of the new site, for the last few weeks they have left.
This week, I finished the score request form, which is organized in several steps.
The process of requesting and adding scores is very similar to what is already in place, in process, but very different in how the information is organized.
Artists are now separate entities, with auto completion (on the screenshot you can see combinations with &, which is temporary, these will be separated individually in the database)
then follows a similar title list, smarter than the current process.
And finally the submission of the request.
I also worked on the partition addition, the form being almost finished.
Adding a score follows the same process as the first two screenshots, then more details are requested.
Here the genres are defined and also auto-complete, they are also their own entity and it will no longer be necessary to specify them in brackets.
You can also choose for which instrument the score is for (the options are the same as the current ones) as well as the key of the score.
You can attach several PDF files that will be automatically merged when you add them.
Here we come to the last two steps that I still have to finalize,
The possibility to specify if the score is original, or if it's a transcript.
A youtube link, if any, and any other useful information.
And finally the last step, if the score contains several files, the user can specify the page order.
Denis (dac on the forum) to rework the display of different parts of the website, add several visuals (including avatars and different icons associated with the status) and correct many display problems on the mobile version that we develop at the same time.
Concerning the general progress of the site,
We still have to finalize the score repository, then all the main features will be finished (score repository, request, tutorial, music, classifieds, library creation, discussion, event creation).
The messaging is also finished and functional.
The last big things left to do that I will tell you about as we go along are :
- The music player- The payment process- The email / notification process
On top of that there are a bunch of little things here and there, like the ability to filter news, share content etc...
We're in the home stretch and if you want to help us test the website, feel free to contact us by private message or by email at [email protected]
More next Friday! :)

I also worked on the partition addition, the form being almost finished.
Adding a score follows the same process as the first two screenshots, then more details are requested.
Here the genres are defined and also auto-complete, they are also their own entity and it will no longer be necessary to specify them in brackets.
You can also choose for which instrument the score is for (the options are the same as the current ones) as well as the key of the score.
You can attach several PDF files that will be automatically merged when you add them.
Here we come to the last two steps that I still have to finalize,
The possibility to specify if the score is original, or if it's a transcript.
A youtube link, if any, and any other useful information.
And finally the last step, if the score contains several files, the user can specify the page order.
Denis (dac on the forum) to rework the display of different parts of the website, add several visuals (including avatars and different icons associated with the status) and correct many display problems on the mobile version that we develop at the same time.
Concerning the general progress of the site,
We still have to finalize the score repository, then all the main features will be finished (score repository, request, tutorial, music, classifieds, library creation, discussion, event creation).
The messaging is also finished and functional.
The last big things left to do that I will tell you about as we go along are :
- The music player- The payment process- The email / notification process
On top of that there are a bunch of little things here and there, like the ability to filter news, share content etc...
We're in the home stretch and if you want to help us test the website, feel free to contact us by private message or by email at [email protected]
More next Friday! :)

Hello to all,
It's Friday and so it's time to review the progress of the week.
This week there were a lot of bug fixes. In particular differences between the mobile version and the computer version.
The score request form has been almost finalized and I was able to submit several scores.
We made some modifications and reworked the library mechanics. The possibility to add any score to one or more of its libraries.
I have reworked the tag system in order to validate the tags which is autocomplete either with the keyboard or by clicking in the list.
It remains to make the automatic grouping of the pdf files in only one at the time of the deposit and the deposit of partitions will be completely finished.
This will be part of next week's progress.
I spent some time working with Denis (dac) to fix the different display problems across the different resolutions / versions of the website.
See you next week :)

It's Friday and time for the news of the week!
- The partition deposit process has been fully finalized including the merging of the pdfs into 1 file with the possibility to order them, as well as the preview of the first page.
We finished to group and reorganize all avatar types with Denis, Online/Offline + premium or trial or normal. This makes the whole thing more homogeneous and easier to maintain for us.
I also spent a lot of time fixing bugs that seem to come back forever every time I touch something!
Problems with auto-loading (scrolling down, or scrolling up for private messages). Problems with comments, dynamically displayed content, etc...
I also spent some time reorganizing once again the way the website accesses information, in order to allow cross-searching, and filtered enough to have a global search system that really allows to find everything you want!
A lot of improvement on the management of errors in the forms of the site, to have something a little more intelligent. And that's what I'll continue on next week. Making sure that all forms have correct validations, checking that all required fields are mandatory, and that all values entered are correct.
And I hope to finish the audio player in the process :)

Hello everyone,
It's time for the weekly progress update!
This week, I focused on the validation and security of the website, as well as the compatibility between the current version and the new version to come.
We checked and implemented the validation of all forms, adding security measures for blacklisted addresses, temporary emails etc...
I also finished a lot of details here and there to make the user experience better. Automatic resizing of images to avoid having to upload super heavy profile pictures for example.
The upload module is finished! With all that it implies to keep track of partitions downloads, avoid bots, protect files etc...
Several other things on the left and right, like the list of new registered members with a welcome note etc...
And finally what you all realized, some changes on the current database which had undesirable effects on the score searches, but necessary to be compatible with the new version of the intenret site.
I have just fixed this problem, so I take this opportunity to tell you that the search should be back to normal.
Thanks to let us know if it's not the case :)

Hello everyone, this week's update! This week, work has been rather slow because I moved!
This said, I managed to progress on the music player, it is now possible to search for tracks dynamically in the pop up of the player.
I also integrated the libraries that will be needed to play the music. As well as some additions to the platform to allow us to build sliders.
I also had to fight with a big bug on the news that pushed me to develop a home made debugging system!
More next week :)

Hello everyone, this week's update! This week there has been a lot of "background" work. Reorganization of processes and this kind of things to eliminate recurrent bugs.
This allowed to progress on the player, especially the creation of playlist.
But the biggest work consisted in integrating a system of "automatic update" which allows to refresh dynamically and automatically the elements of the page when an action is done.
For example the number of comments once a comment is added, or the number of "like" on a song once it is liked by the user.
The goal of the process is to adapt to all cases and to allow to fine tune the last details that remain across the pages!

Hello everyone, the weekly message! This
week we have worked to integrate the automatic update system
on the different features of the site. The ones that are supposed to
update without page refresh, and their opposite, also without page reload.
This includes:
- Like / unlike song- Add / remove to player list- Add / remove scores in one or more libraries.etc...
These features were already present and functional, but required a page refresh.
We also finished the last remaining pages
- Validation of an activation link - Forgotten password - Page to unsubscribe from newsletters.
As well as the design and layout of most of the emails.
Next week I'll integrate the email system, and we'll get to the end very quickly (with a lot of delay)!

Hello to all !
I haven't posted any news for the last two weeks so it wasn't really interesting.
A lot of the work done in the last 3 ( now) weeks was testing the import from the current site to the new site. The process takes several hours and so it was a lot of tweaking, waiting, changing etc..
We now have a fairly robust process that should import and reclassify all of the current information and adapt it to the new structure.
We have also finished several other pages, such as the preferences page where you can determine which notifications and emails you want to receive, set the news and languages you want to see on the site.
We have also finalized the F.A.Q page and KPC is working on making it as exhaustive as possible.
On my side I also made stress tests to simulate between 10 and 1000 simultaneous connections, in order to check the response time of the pages and try to improve that as much as possible!
See you soon for more news :)

Hello to all,
I came to this site by chance because I started playing diatonic music late in life, and I hesitated for a long time to join, not being convinced that this site would bring me anything. I am now a faithful user, especially for the search of scores of all kinds. I can only encourage you to persist and I think that the price of the subscription is derisory compared to the contents of the site.
With kind regards,
gilbert Labeyrie

Thank you so much Labeyrie for this message of support. We are thrilled that you are finding your happiness on the site and that you are a member of the PA community!!!
We're also glad you find the price "paltry in comparison to the content". We do not base our subscription price on content (hence the inability to buy scores or score packages like many other sites for example). We try to respect a balance between operating costs, time and skills invested to allow you to exchange and access this content, while keeping a price affordable to the greatest number.
Musically :)

Hello everyone, a little update for last week. Because I was on vacation the week before, this week I made a lot of changes to the current site. For the search for scores (the quotes are now solved) as well as improvements for the seo (search engine optimization).
I also worked on the new site and on the integration of emails. Denis had done the layout of all the different emails. I worked on sending them and formatting them, from general layout to specific display for email clients. As well as tools for us to configure when an email should be sent. Taking into account unsubscribes, etc.. All this starting with the account validation emails.
I think I'll finish all the different types of emails tomorrow. Then attack either the notification or the payment system. The last two things to do!
Thanks for your attention :)

Hello everyone, this week we continued to work on emails. Mostly trying to have a similar display on different clients (gmail, outlook etc...) which has led to a LOT of testing and back and forth, and it's not over... (thanks aol and yahoo among others).
I also started to integrate the payment system with new payment options for different countries, in the same way we currently offer bancontact for Belgians. :)
Nothing particularly exciting to announce, but some weeks are like that :)

But we are in the last straight line and the new AP is coming (very) soon :)

Dear members,
in order to make the community grow so that you have access to more and more contents and that you can exchange with more and more accordionists from different horizons, we are looking for Italian / Spanish / German / Portuguese / Russian speaking translators. The translation can be done from French or English.
If you are interested in this opportunity to participate in the development of the site, contact us at: [email protected]
Thank you for your loyalty!
Sincerely yours
The team of partitions-accordeon.com

Hello KPC. A while ago, I suggested this opportunity, but without success. If you can put in place a means of communication understood by all, it would be a positive asset. In the meantime, I congratulate you for this great idea. There are often pieces that we are looking for or that we would like to have, but in foreign editions, with a better understanding of our European friends, this possibility becomes possible. I share your proposal in every way. Thank you KPC
Hello everyone,
Partitions-accordéon.com has updated its annual subscription rate, for more flexibility and to benefit users involved in the community.
All new users registered on or after November 24, 2017 will be subject to the new "default" annual website subscription rate which has been increased to $24.99
This rate DOES NOT apply to the 21,000+ members already registered before November 24, 2017, in premium or regular on partitions-accordeon.com.
First of all, why this increase?
The annual price increase was implemented for several reasons:
- To finance the (very) upcoming improvements of partitions-accordeon.com- To penalize members who only download without investing in the community.- To strengthen the links between partitions-accordeon.com members
How can a price increase improve the community spirit of partitions-accordeon.com?
Because this new price can be brought back to the usual price of partitions-accordeon.com in several ways:
- Every premium member now has a "promotional code" (immediately). This promotional code can be shared with friends or acquaintances - without any time or number restrictions - that you wish to invite to the partitions-accordeon.com community.
Each new member using this promotional code in the new field during the checkout process will see their annual subscription reduced to the usual rate of 15€ per year. You can find your promotional code in the "my profile" tab.
- Any subscription offered as a gift is at the usual rate of 15€ per year.
- Each new member registered from November 24, 2017 and not premium will have their rate reduced to 15€ per year if they have deposited at least 20 scores in the last 6 months. The latter can check the status of their possible reduction via the "my profile" tab. A gauge allows you to see how many scores you have added in the last 6 months and to check the progress of your reduction :)
We hope that these measures will allow us to further improve partitions-accordeon.com through the changes planned soon. As well as strengthen the community and create more and more interesting interactions and relevant information. While allowing the most active and involved members of the community to benefit from a return on their investment through the contribution of new members.
Don't hesitate to contact us for any suggestions, critics, ideas, encouragement :)
This is a big change to the website that was not done without stress, your feedback, whatever it is, will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks to all of you!
PS: This price increase does not affect you if you have created your account (premium or not) before November 24, 2017!
