Hello,
Thank you for the great work you have done and continue to do.
Of course the ergonomics has changed, but one gets used to it quickly.
Ah! the famous resistance to change.
I appreciate always having a thumbnail view of the first page.
You can tell right away if it's a music score or a choral score, for example.
The full page view works well.
Thank you again for maintaining and improving this Ali Baba's cave which is very useful.
Sincerely.
Ed for Storytellers & Baladins

Hello,
I find the new face of P-A pleasant.
Surprised by the reaction of the users who are a bit "demanding" and don`t imagine the work to redesign a site.
A big thank you to the team for this fresh move, with time the habits will quickly return.

Hello Pontiac, thank you, we appreciate it :))
It was (and still is) a lot of work! We tried to keep the functionality of the site while adapting it to different devices! The forum has been separated into different categories, but the principle is the same. We have added some new functions such as "news" for a global view of the site's news or the libraries to classify your scores! And we are listening to your suggestions ;)

Hello everyone, it is with great joy (and stress) that we can finally announce the launch of the long awaited new p-a!
After more than 18 months of development, we hope that the result will live up to your expectations.
There will certainly still be some problems, bugs to fix, like any other launch worthy of the name! We count on you to let us know about them so that we can solve them as soon as possible.
The launch will take place on Sunday at midnight (Sunday night) and the site will be unavailable for a period of 12 to 48 hours. The time of unavailability will depend on the speed/fluidity of the transfer and the adaptation of the information from the current site to the new one.
If your premium subscription expires in the next 7 days and you benefit from the preferential rate of 15 euros per year, we invite you to renew it before Sunday evening. As previously announced, from the launch of the new website the subscription price will be standardized at 24.99 euros per year for all members.
We thank you in advance for your patience during the period of unavailability of the website, as well as during the first days during which there will surely still be a lot of work to do on our side.
Thank you all for your support during all these years and we hope for the next ones :)
Sincerely, The team of partitions-accordeon.com
ps: If you have any questions related to the launch of the new site and/or the transition, you can reply to this discussion, or, as usual, send us an email at support@partitions-accordeon.com

Thank you. We can't wait...
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 to all,
after several security updates (and a new screen background), several bugs have appeared. Many of you have contacted me about this (I thank you for that, it allowed me to fix the problems more quickly).
Everything should now work properly, if you continue to encounter problems, thank you for replying to this topic or contact me here: support@partitions-accordeon.com
I also got a lot of feedback about the new anti-robot system when downloading and viewing. This system has been in place since automated abuse has appeared in order to harm P-A and offer its content elsewhere to serve a purpose that escapes me.
This system needs to be calibrated and I will try to make it as little disabling as possible for everyone, thank you for your indulgence while I perfect the process.

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,
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 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!

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 (support@partitions-accordeon.com) or by private message.
Thanks to all of you!

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!

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!

Hello everyone, the subject has already been discussed several times, but in view of the construction of the new site it is more than ever time to make a decision! So I ask you again your opinion! Would scores of other instruments have their place on P-A? If yes, which instruments, and please give an approximation of the number of scores that interested parties would be able to provide to launch the new category / categories. An empty scores section is a task :) To you the studios!

It all depends. For example in the ogres de barback song book, you have all the scores of all the instruments, but it can tempt me to want to play only the clarinet melody or another instrument. I have often looked for that. I guess it depends on the person. There are also many instruments for which there are complete pieces, or rewritten interpretations for them. I think of the violin in particular. Like for example in the Quebec folklore where you can find very well scores only for violin. But anyway this is not the debate. And apparently everyone seems to agree on the question then :) Maybe one day P-A will have little brothers? P-C, P-T, P-V etc... Who knows :)
