Hello to all,

The search on the score page is now searching by default on the auto-complete titles. Hopefully, this will make it easier to search.

Added to that I took the opportunity to improve the reactivity of suggestions. Suggestions should be displayed much faster.

Musically,
Slade

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 :)

13/06/2020
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 :)
slade
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 to all,
I'm looking for progressive exercises for the left hand first and then introduction of the right hand to work on to acquire independence of both hands for boogie !
As I don't have a teacher, I'm trying to practice with a simple composition "Bavardage Boogie" by Jos de Moulin.
I consulted some videos on YouTube but it's not enough. I need a written support.
Please give me a method or the relevant pages in a complete method.

hello enki . Methods concerning these types of dance are not common. Nevertheless, I advise you to go on (playmusic. com) there is a method there concerning the accompaniments with dvd included which will know how to answer your waitings, it also treats of the agreements going with the music of eight; Manu Maugain is the creator of it (as much to say the top of the top). Otherwise see different Boogie and compare the accompaniments. The complexity, I grant you, is mainly made up of basses (singing or following). With training and patience nothing is impossible. Good luck !!!!!! Adler

Thank you Adler for your advice.
I will persevere in my research. I have the method of Manu Maugain Improvisation Jasse à l'Accordéon with the 2 CDs! I didn't find any indications on the work of the bass alone. Nevertheless, interesting method for the blues suite and jazzy style!
I will work on my left hand with a simple piece. For the piano, there are methods, I'll try to use them.

Hello

I'm looking for scores with fingering numbers (5 fingers) and before registering, I ask if we can find some in your site. I didn't have time to take advantage of the 5 days trial to do some research...
So I ask the question.

Berny,
I don't think anyone on this forum knows the 26000 scores that have been submitted, including a significant number of booklets!
As far as I know, except for the methods, which are intended to do so, no score is written with the fingering. The fingering is personal: use or not of the thumb, 3, 4 or 5 rows, agility (or not) of the "little finger, etc. The fingerings you will find have been added by hand and do not necessarily correspond to your expectations.
If you want to work with a compulsory fingering, start with a method.

Thank you for the advice but I am learning by following the ASTIER AND BASELLI method. I thought that my request was not extraordinary and that such scores were common, but unfortunately I have only two.
Sincerely

Hello to all,
For the last 3 years, I have been doing research in order to write the biography of Pietro Rossi, virtuoso accordionist, musette ball animator and orchestra conductor, and, emeritus accordion teacher.
So, if you have any documentation, if you have any information to give me, I am listening and receptive.
I look forward to reading you

There is almost nothing on the Internet. I am looking for testimonies, because Pietro Rossi was a hub in the years from 1952 to 1989, where he brought in, invited, received many accordionists and stars of the French popular song and then there is the teacher, the wonderful teacher and his way of teaching was inspired by the best of that time.
So, I continue the pilgrimage.

He lived in Montreal, (QC, Canada). He recorded his records for London, but had continuous exchanges with France, Belgium and Italy, as he was also a star of Fratelli Crosio.

Hello
For your research, perhaps in Accordéons-Accordéonistes Magazine, an article was dedicated to Pietro Rossi.

I'll give you some clues.
Born in 1921 and died in 1990.
Moved to Montreal, Qc Canada in the 1950s.
Was a representative of the Fratelli Crosio brand.
Had his own brand of accordion "Rossicana", made in Stradella.
Was the gateway to many French, Belgian and Italian accordion stars.
Has composed many musical pieces.
Endorsed
Has had his own orchestra(s); animator of ball of which the musette.


If you can help me find people who knew him here and on the other side of the Atlantic,

If you have any clues,
If you have any information about the song and popular music of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s in France, Belgium and Italy,
Then send it to me, I will make good use of it and mention the reference by name.
Let's do justice to the musicians who performed in the shadows, to the unknown, to the forgotten and let's make it our duty to resurrect them for posterity and for history by our recognition that they allowed music to be alive and to animate the audiences.
IT IS OUR DUTY TO REMEMBER!
Greetings to all!

Good evening,
I don't have these magazines anymore. I gave them to a friend who has since passed away.
Therefore, I don't have any more information about this subject concerning this virtuoso accordionist that was Pietro Rossi.
Have a nice evening.

Hello!

I live in Quebec and I recently bought a Fratelli Crosio accordion with the letters engraved on it: P. Rossi - Montreal

I don't know if my instrument belonged to Pietro Rossi about whom you are researching...but there are similarities...
If you give me your email, I will send you a picture...
Good evening!

I think I have answered your question, but I don't know if you received it.
Pïetro Rossi was the representative of Fratelli Crosio accordions in Canada.

Hello Slade and hello to you all,
After all these years of research, I will soon publish on WIKIPÉDIA the biography of Pietro Rossi, virtuoso accordionist, composer, author, ball entertainer, representative of the Fratelli Crozio brand in North America (in the 1960's and following years) and renowned pedagogue.
As you know the contribution to Wikipedia is anonymous and open to those who are able to improve the published articles.
This article is the beginning of my contribution to make Pietro Rossi known, the history of the accordion in Quebec in the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's; these 4 decades will allow me, in future publications, to make you discover also the cultural climate with regard to the song and the popular dances, and, also to the teaching of the accordion.
I reiterate that if any of you have documents from that time (methods, scores, newspaper or magazine articles, etc.), please do not hesitate to contact me, in order to further document my research.
See you soon in your correspondence,
Sincerely,
G_Tormen_2013
