Hello, I am a beginner on the accordion (six months of practice) I am currently playing with great pleasure "O Emigrante". I would like to learn other pieces of an equivalent level, melodious and melancholic, does anyone have an idea to suggest? I don't know what to choose among the many scores that this site offers for beginners. I tend to go for music I know, but in fact I would prefer to discover something new... (I found the score of O Emigrante on this site after hearing someone play it).
Thank you!

oh yes, I'm taking all the title cars! I have a teacher since September and before that I was learning on my own since April. I really like blue java, indeed, and I learned some simple pieces of klezmer music, and also the Ave Maria by Gounod...
Hello to all,

I have just deployed again a very big update of the website structure (in order to improve always a little more the performances of the site).

I also fixed a display bug for youtube videos in the comments.

Thanks, as usual, to comment this discussion or to contact us by private message or by email ([email protected]) if you encounter bugs!

Musically,

Hello Slade, since this day, I can't find a score among the more than 50000 existing on the site. When I click on score to type the title of the song in the search box, I can't access it. My screen displays strangely. I can't type the title I'm looking for. Can you fix this problem?

Hello monig,
we have changed the server because of the slowness problems on the site and we will continue to work on this aspect. We are sorry to know that you are disappointed by the new site. Adapting the site to mobiles and tablets has indeed required some concessions on the ergonomics, but the functionalities have been kept. Don't hesitate to contact me on the mailbox of this account or on [email protected] if you have any question about the practical use of the site!

I'm sure you'll find that the site is much faster since yesterday, but I'm not sure how long it will take for the "little problems" to be resolved.

I'll continue to monitor this obviously, and adjust things as much as possible!
Hello,
Bravo for the new site !
As an amateur accordionist, I have the opportunity from time to time to play in medium-sized halls or outdoors. The sound volume of my accordion (a Ballonne Burini) is then insufficient
What type of microphone (for right and left hand), mounting and amp is recommended for this situation? I play mainly seated and I usually have a power supply nearby
Thank you in advance for your advice

Hello and thank you tougui :)
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 slade is it in the forum sections of sale to search for scores .... is there will be an option ""resolved"" in order to no longer search for titles that are already in the site?
Sincerely
toffer59
slade
15/01/2020
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! :)

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 :)
slade
22/05/2020
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 :)
More news in a week!

30/05/2020
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!
More next week :)

20/06/2020
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)!
More news in a week :)

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,

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.

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,
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!

Hello everyone,
it's time to talk about it officially. For several months a new version of P-A has been slowly making its way. This site, which will be online in July for already 3 years. It has served well, but I think it's time to offer (again) a new youth to P-A :)

Unfortunately, the more the site evolves and grows, the more the new versions are heavy, and immensely slow to develop. More users, more cases, more categories, more features. In this sense, the new version (4?5?) will be, I hope, finalized to celebrate the 3 years of this version. That is, in July. I will do my best to make it happen.

Here are the main lines of this project:

- To make P-A a real space of socialization around the accordion and to try to get it out of the status of "supermarket of the score", to give it a real social dimension. It's difficult, it's a lot of thinking but I think it's possible.

- To make P-A a real base of information on the accordion in general. A knowledge base. Thus, a section will be dedicated to the news related to the accordion, automatically managed and aggregated via the various sources of news making rss feeds available.

- A news feed, like social networks. Allowing to visualize what happened in the different categories. Without having to browse the entire website.

- Keep all the existing functionality. Obviously.

- The music section is going to get a makeover. Very badly done in the current state of things, I remain convinced that it is necessary to have a space of expression, for all the composers / singers / musicians. With a real calendar of events. Videos, photos!

- The classified ads will improve, allowing a set of questions / answers with the seller and in general a greater dynamic.

- Revitalize the interactive map to give it a real use. Always in this optics of creation of contact.

- The partition section should be one of the sections that will undergo the least changes. I am studying the possibility of linking, manually or automatically, videos/audio resources with the different scores available in order to facilitate learning.

- The tutorials section will also be greatly modified. As it is currently only used for sharing methods, it will be reduced to a list of the said methods. While on the advice I could read (and I forgot who they came from, but the person will recognize himself :) ) a video section will appear. Giving you the opportunity to give lessons. Skype appointments. On a voluntary basis. The details are still to be defined.

- A REAL administration interface. Intended to relieve the ever increasing work of cindou :) Allowing to have a more professional control on the platform.

- A better email system. To avoid "confirmation link never received."

- More customization for you, more control. In short, more stuff!

- Better rendering and support for mobile devices (smartphone, tablet).

- And a big graphic overhaul. Because eh, the purple one, I can't stand it anymore and it's disgusting :)


This topic will be used to keep you informed of the progress, as well as to collect your opinions / suggestions.
Don't hesitate to express yourself.


That's it!
Without further ado some teasers

Hello to all,

Lots of good ideas...yes, that's a lot of thinking.
The first success of P.A. is of course the important amount of scores at hand but it is obvious that it also had its reverse side which became "supermarket".
The forum is really the weak point of the site which is used for the requests of scores currently.
If new subjects are launched it is true that really debates and analyses will be initiated.
About the RSS feeds that I don't know I will be curious to discover them, it can be a great tool and become the soul of these debates and analyses.
For the rest "wait and see" but bravo to you and to cindou to have refined a unique site and which tends to improve still.

Hello to All
What can I say!!! Many thanks for this very nice and useful site... it is true that starting the accordion late is a matter of a lot of will, training and advice .... so I have already benefited quite a bit but if other development techniques can be clarified especially in video, it will be great... (my first difficulty is the left hand often we don't know how to put a rhythm for some dances) so thank you Slade, Cindou and all the P.A. to offer so much help, advice, explanations.

Hello Slade. I am very touched by this new directive. It answers my call to those who are experiencing difficulties. My experience with one of them, via webcam is revolutionary in terms of communication and understanding. In addition, in terms of knowledge, photos and others, there will be a great surprise. I went to 500 kms from my home to spend an unforgettable day with my great friend Claude Dontenwill (collector) with hundreds of accordions, Emile Prud ' homme, colombo, ferrari, etc...... 50 000 repertoriées partitions and 20 000 in waiting. I convinced him to join us, he is delighted. This man of heart will be for us, a blessing, because his generosity and his passion has no limit. Wishing this site that you created Slade, to be unique. We are very grateful to you and to our beloved cindou. Long live our community !!!!!!!

hi Harmojack


I know CLAUDE well, because he did the same job as us in the
in the industrial sector before retiring, I already know
what is the surprise, it is true that this surprise is enormous
given the photos that I have, enough to flatter the envy of
I must admit that the scores of COLOMBO Joseph and GUS VISEUR which are on the site now were really unobtainable and I have to say that they are
were really untraceable and I thank him again for having
I thank him again for having collected them and exchanged them with me, he also recovered the accordion of COLOMBO but I do not say more, we will discover it soon enough
I hope that he has finally started using computers to exchange with us, thanks to his daughter and I thank him again for the seals he sent me for my bellows which now have a good compression

Hello to you who work a lot to offer us a new site.
I am looking forward to it because I think it will answer perfectly to my wishes and will allow me to progress and to take advantage of the precious advices of professionals.
Thank you again to all those who deposit the scores, unfortunately I do not have any being self-taught for three years, I am therefore part of those who often pinned "as doing their market.
A thousand thanks to all of you and I look forward to the month of July.

There are some very good ideas among the new features; I hope that they will succeed.
Of course, long life to our site.

Hello to all,
work is starting again. There have been some problems lately that made me rethink a lot of things. And so, the next version of the website will be developed with new technologies, more secure, faster, more portable. In short, all the better.
The work that was done on the new version is to be redone. I present you the first capture of this total redesign.
Nothing special, but the creation of account, connection is already the first stone of added functionality.

ps: There will be an app for android (at least)
ps2: the site will obviously be fully translated into French.


Hello to all,

I will remain neutral, as you can imagine, my role is not to show my BAFA ...

Thank you all for your answers which show that everyone is aware of the "work" done and that is already very "reassuring"!

I expose my point of view:
- I believe as Slade said (and often Jmimi), that the
site is not always clear for the "new" registered ....
this is the reason why we are currently working together to make it easier to understand from the start ... and this, in the new version in preparation ...
- First of all, we need a "RULES" visible from the beginning, explicit, a good support for a "good entry" on P. A ... even if it is automatically received at each registration OR re-registration ....

I am very far from blaming anyone, I the first one was not always at the Top from my arrival ... even if, from the beginning I tried to understand not to be too noticed ... (ok, it's a waste of time, to say that I asked Slade to be incognito as an administrator ....., not possible ... and even, I wanted to file incognito ... not possible too, so I might as well go for it!!!)

Of course, the goal of this site is sharing ... when I say sharing, we can also hear GIVING, INDIVIDUAL SHARING (yeah it's weird ....!! but true), in a word DO NOT EXPECT A RETURN ... Like any donation, it's logical !!!

It is necessary to recognize that it is to give of oneself, of its time, and that each depositor made an effort to seek (duplicates, titles, etc...), to scan, which leads me to say that I respect any deposit, any partition (each one has the right to have different tastes, to find what its neighbor would never have sought ....)

Therefore, I only RARELY allow myself to delete a score, even a not very beautiful one ... waiting for better ...
Only the duplicates "jump" and I always warn the depositor in M.P ... It's also respect !!!

Let's talk about deposits :
- I think that it would be necessary that each one is reasoned, and do not have
suddenly "the day with 10000 deposits per hour" !!!, too much at once, seems to
at the same time, seems to harm ... indeed, opening, closing, reopening, does not bring
the interest that each partition should have .... abandonment
can also rhyme with saturation ... dance (there, it rhymes) ..

Ok, that I remain concentrated ... so, from 5 to 6 scores by member, (wishing to deposit) that seems reasonable, and much easier to manage, if so, Cindou will not crack any more !!! than to open 10000 scores in one day ....
and thus, each one, will take time "to try to scan well" to present well (as himself would like to find a score...), and the work of each one will be also respected, that can indeed be understood that to find itself in 4th page at the end of 10 minutes discourages a person who has just scanned...
and each score can also be appreciated .....

Uh, I'm not too long ????? Well, I took the time to answer ....

Your support can help, I repeat, BUT, to report a duplicate, a typing error, everything IS GOOD TO TAKE!!! and, to my great dismay if few members do .... that, it is distressing to see that an empty file, an incomplete partition, and so on are downloaded without any report sniff!!! don't you find that sad ????

To finish (if it can ..) on P.A, many have their role, the one we are WELL used to .... :
- We will find those who help a lot by answering the forum THANK YOU to them .....
- Those who are more gifted to file THANK YOU to them too
AND those who are very good at their market .... well, there must be some too ....

Come on, stop ..... Excellent weekend to ALL WITHOUT EXCEPTION !!!!!

Hello Cindou. It is without moderation that I agree with your point of view. I am one of those with 10000 scores per hour, but that was at the beginning, I wanted to share everything with those who have trouble finding their happiness, because the old editions have disappeared, or no longer have any heirs, or at least interested. I always watch the depositions to see if I like this one. What a surprise !!!! I had when I saw downloads on invisible or unreadable deposits. At the beginning I was skating in the sand, and you helped me, however when I deposited, too quickly it is true! I was wrong title or score, and this one was still downloaded. What's the point??? that's why I adopt your point of view. This week I am waiting for a small return, which will be put on p.a, in drops, and as right to consume with moderation.

Good evening Cindou11

If at the beginning of the year I didn't answer your post it's only because I was and still am 100% of your opinion in everything you write.

When I read Harmojack's answer of February 24, I see to this day that his sentences were well turned and that he would respect the
" Rules" of P-A.

But this is not the case at all, he is posting what he has in score and soon no member will have the pleasure to post theirs.

It is a pity and a pity at the same time to arrive at this stage of conviviality.

We are not all on this nice site to compete in the number of deposits.

This is my humble opinion.

Have a nice evening.

Jodi

Hi Jodi,

You took the words out of my mouth...I wanted to answer in a day or two.
Let's respect the work of our cindou, let's not forget that it's VOLUNTEERING...I had already told slade that he was very lucky to "have her".
I think she's having a major meltdown because she usually rushes through the day's corrections and now ...disgusted!
If we want P.A. to remain P.A. that is to say a unique site let's respect her advice above.
Last thing, be careful what you write in M.P. because it makes the turn...this person will recognize himself.
Good evening.

Hello to all. No doubt that this person has recognized himself since it is indeed me. So let's proceed by order; history to put the pendulums on time. CINDOU, knew with the approval of its assistance me named (blackmailer) among other things on what I concider as being classified and this thanks to the comprehention and the intelligence of Slade. I therefore acted like a child, going back on my words (see above) and under the aegis of anger to show that it was not so. I admit it is not very pleasant, but at least dancing (understand who can). JODI, I am not surprised by your reaction, but I have a small question, to enlighten me. On this forum, answer to a discussion, you have textually said "I have 20 000" pieces!!! your last deposit (Delance, Bredif, Sylvain Bouc) and tomorrow ????? sites on the Internet (contrary to the policy of the well founded of this site) Question: do not sweep your door before taking care of that of the other ????? DAN95 for you I regret sincerely, see you in is people who say to be your friends, and who torpedo you of best that they can, I have only returned this ball which makes so much pain, is all. tomorrow I take again my small train train !!!!!! excuse me my friend.

Hello to all of you.

Here I am now accused by Mr. Harmojack of depositing scores which are I admit for some to this day in free download on the sites of certain accordionists, but by which they were offered to me by them even according to my request.

What was not current on the Net when I received the scores by postal mail by sympathy of these musicians or orchestras.

I have to specify that I view in no case the sites of these musicians for illicit downloads whatever they are.

The human contact is the best way to bond a comradeship, to talk on the phone and to ask for what it would be nice to receive from the Pro's of the scene.

Also I "openly" said some time ago that I have about 20,000 scores in my possession, in reality, on my hard drives and not counting the P-A repositories I have about 33,700.

And for the good form, I would like that Mr. Jack, who likes by his musical knowledge... does not make fun of some and others as a certain Mr. Frerik did in his time.

If such a zizanie (in see you in here) persists on the site, my favorite site which is not other than P-A I will not hesitate to unsubscribe Illico-presto

Greetings to all members

Jodi !!!!!!! I feel sorry to have attacked you in this way. Imagine people joining forces to harm you morally and in full view of everyone, won't you reply? Jodi, you should know that I have nothing in common with Frerik, I am open to dialogue, without resorting to words such as those he used. Following a difference as I explained to Dan, I acted in a protest that I regret very sincerely. We were conversing together in all simplicity; and here is like a house of cards a friendship which collapses. So Jodi, I want to openly apologize to you and ask you to forget this unfortunate incident, unworthy of an adult. Let's forget about this nonsense. Once again, I apologize to all of you, let's be friends !!!!

13/08/2015
Hello,
No zizanie (to use your words jodi) will last. Cindou and I are pretty tired of all the stupid stories that waste our time...

We are not schoolmistresses. Harmojack has indicated his choice to leave P-A. So be it. And if he doesn't. I invite him to leave the drama and tears behind once and for all so that everyone doesn't waste their time.

The discussion is closed, as are all the others that are pointless, baseless and without results.

It's sad that in a community of responsible adults we find ourselves playing the policeman for nothing more relevant than schoolyard pranks.

I would not tolerate either that a member, for futile reasons, continues to abuse the forum and to provoke the rest of the community at the risk, as you said jodi, of destroying the existing atmosphere and of harming the rest of the members globally.

Hi Cavag31,
At renewal time if you are not present you will go back to regular status but you can become premium again as soon as you are back :)
But I think the renewal will be available a week before the official renewal date!

For the chat you have to look at the bottom right of the screen you have a message icon with a number next to it, you click on it and you will have access to all the people online :)

All is said :-)I received your email nevertheless, I will tell you that by email.
Hello to all,

I posted in the bug and improvement topic but finally what was supposed to be an addition is now taking an important place that I think deserves its own topic.

As you may have noticed, notifications are displayed in the upper right corner of the screen to inform about what is happening on the website.

member connection, new messages in the forum new scores etc...

An icon has also appeared in the right menu, a clock.
By clicking on it you can find all the history of the activity of the site.

So why all this?

For several reasons.
First of all to allow the administrators (me and jean-jacques) to send you messages if necessary without necessarily creating a topic in the forum or sending an email.

Secondly, because I think that p-a is a community and who says community says life and therefore the site must be alive.

And finally, because it allows you to easily see what's new when you arrive on the site.

You log in with your coffee and wonder what's been going on lately?
Well, instead of going through all the pages of the site, you click on the little clock and you will know at a glance, the last messages, the last added scores etc...

That's it!

This subject is made to be commented as always, with your opinions, feelings, suggestions etc....

It will remain as an "important topic" for some time.

Hoping to read many of you!
