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 Slade
Thank you for these precisions which I think go in the right direction!
See you soon for the first tests loool

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 :)
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,
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 :)

So, after scanning the various score pages you can convert them with :or :right, choose PDF)THEN : merge them (if there are several pages of course) with :http://www.ilovepdf.com/fr/pdf_unique/

Forum

- Politeness is a must on the forum! A hello, a thank you, it's a minimum!

- SMS language, hateful, racist or other comments are not tolerated on this forum!

- Please show some respect for the person who is going to read you. Proofread your text. Try to write in correct French. We are not asking you to be Bernard Pivot but a minimum of attention to writing is a must.

- To request a score, please use the "Request a score" button. As strange as it may sound, that's what it's for.

- Please enter the correct author and title when filling out your application.

- If you don't know the title or the author, maybe your
request should first go through the "discussion" box "Could you help me find the artist and title of this piece?" Before making a request for a score. Why not attach a video?

- Please pay attention to the list of suggestions, if the score you want is in this list do not ask for it!

- If you have a personal message to convey. A thank you, a question to someone in particular. Please use the personal messaging system. As strange as it may seem, that's what it's for!

- Please click on the green Resolved button once your request is resolved!
- Don't redo a request that is still current, they remain in effect as long as the score is not filed !!!! So, no need to start again every two days ....

- Don't forget to thank the person who was kind enough to deposit this score. See the first point in the forum section above.

- The forum has a number of categories. When you post a message please make sure you post in the correct category.

- Email addresses are not tolerated in forum posts.
The forum is indexed by Google and we are sure that none of you want to have your email address available to the whole world.
If you wish to communicate your email address to someone, please use the private messaging system or the chat.

- If you have just arrived. Introduce yourself. A presentation category is made for that. We will be happy to welcome you :)

- You can also thank the author by private message. It will make him happy :)


Classifieds

- The classifieds section is only dedicated to the sale / purchase of various objects.

- Please do NOT request sheet music. Unless you wish to purchase an original score.

- Partitions-accordeon.com is in no way
responsible for these transactions. Thank you therefore, during your
transactions, to use a minimum of common sense. Whether you are a buyer or a seller.

- Please delete your ad if
the object is no longer available. Or in the case of a search, if you
found what you were looking for. There is nothing more painful than being told "sorry this is no longer available."


Music

- The Music section is for YOUR music.

- It is not a library of MP3s.

- Put your compositions or your covers there but no commercial mp3 will be tolerated. - A DISCOVERY AREA has been created for your "favorites".

- Rudimentary politeness and spelling rules also apply when you comment on a piece.

- The same goes for email addresses. The music section and its comments are also indexed by google.


If you are in doubt about anything,
you can always send a private message to myself (Slade), or to Cindou11.


Thank you!

Your remark is also valid for the tutorials, but in this case the reason is more obvious because we are lucky enough to be surrounded by many "Nobel Prize" in computer science and even more "Grand Prix de Rome" in music which obviously makes their reading less useful ;)

Hello

I agree with what is said above ....
Since a few days, due to computer problems, I am less connected and I just realized the following phenomenon:
A point that I will qualify as negative:

the deposit of scores that are already on the net, just on the site next to

Let me explain:
why re-deposit in the ''common pot''?
scores that are on the site just next to ????????

I don't see any interest in it except to clutter up our PA site unnecessarily ...
imagine if I type partitions under Google
and then I put everything I found .... (OK this is ridiculous ... shall I go out?)
Apparently some people don't understand that and deposit these scores in turn arm !!!!!! and many download them here at the expense of the said 'site which is no longer visited .......

To meditate .... ! especially for the one who deposits.... A good advertising of his site would be more effective ! Sincerely

Hello, to you. I have opened a discussion on this subject (the text above is readable and well formatted) but there is a gap. The fact of being reworked by certain person who brings personal modifications to it, to make their small popote according to their desires. One person has, because it arranges it, solicited (split a partition) term of Cindou, because on a deposit appears 3 pieces fortants presented as it should. Nothing is stipulated in the regulation on this subject. See deposit (unique or we can see sometimes 4 or 5 pieces). This free solicitation, is made by some people who however do not take into account the regulation. Namely deposited pieces on sites already existing (the fact of having those, even if they were given to them for a long time) does not give them the right to evade the said regulation. The quantity when it, if dosed, of course offers the choice and the diversity, according to the difficulties; but also the regulation does not give limits. Being open to the suggestions, would it be possible to enlighten my lantern ???? I was always told that it was better to have to deal with the good god than with his saints .........

Hello Adler and hello TO ALL
In principle, I do not like to express myself and especially, it is that, I am not gifted enough to explain in writing my feelings; I do not want to hurt anybody but the deposits that Adler offers us so kindly do not bother me at all EVEN if they are grouped and I want to thank him for his great generosity. If we look carefully, there are many collections and if we wish to have a particular score of the collection, well we must leaf through the whole document (even if it contains sometimes hundreds of pages).This is my personal opinion!!.. I leave the decision to the Directors of this site, and I remind you that I appreciate this site very much.May the music be with US

Hello Cindou,

Bravo for the work of Romain on the site! I agree with what is said about the transfers from site to site, when these are well known by the musicians, and very present on Google or other.

To avoid your tedious "copy and paste", and that the score proposal includes only "author" and "title", I have a question: in the new scores I proposed (Keith Jarret's solos), I would have liked to be able to specify the name of the author of the transcription, which is also specified on the score, but it is still necessary to have downloaded it!

Can we write this name after the title, in brackets, as a good soul (you probably) would have done?
good soul (probably you) has done for Old Man River?

Also, if we opt for the author(s) of the original melody that inspired the published solo, can we add both the artist and the transcriber, as was done for "Over the Rainbow".

This seems useful for jazz scores, anyway.

Doing it yourself would give the administrators one less thing to worry about!

Sincerely yours,

Bacdam

Hello to all, regarding the frenzy of deposit currently. The problem that arises is the following:- How to be sure that the scores are already deposited somewhere?- How to be sure that the depositor is aware of it?- How to limit the deposits of so-and-so without frustration and avoiding that this depositor does not deposit anymore?

These are the three questions that I am working on in this case. It will never be possible to know with certainty if a score is already deposited somewhere before it is deposited on p-a. For the first two questions, what about a cover page or a mention that the score comes from such and such a website if the case is proven by providing a link? Allowing to give credit where credit is due while offering a greater visibility to a score? It is important to know that it will never be possible to prevent multiple deposits from other sources. And that it will take a lot of work. I am obviously against "pumping" scores from third party sites to enrich P-A, but wouldn't a mention in the pdf be a good middle ground?
In the meantime, I will contact the concerned people to ask them not to upload scores already available for free elsewhere.there is I think a reflection that it would be useful to have, with the new version that will arrive we could try to find the best way to modify the way of uploading in order to avoid overflows.I will think about it on my side but your suggestions are of course welcome.

That's exactly what I mean. We'll have to discuss it for the next version and you'll have to tell me how we can lighten all this. Automatically.

Maybe the solution would be to create a space with links to the sites of composers who offer their scores for free.... And then delete the concerned scores from PA (big job!).

Hello to All, I agree entirely with Cindou; it is useless for composers who have their own site and where one can obtain their scores, to come to increase and encumber (in my opinion) the site of P.A.; more especially as Cindou is obliged very often to take again them to indicate either the kind of music or other infos..... and for that it must open each deposit.....which job!!!! P.A. is a unique site, very organized, very clean, easy to access, with unpublished scores, and it would be good if it remained so....Musically YoursVernonait

Hello Cindou11
Maybe a Greek friend can help you decipher the title.
I don't know this melody but it sounds like a beautiful tango...or a sirtaki....
Have a nice evening.

Hello to all !
You're welcome ! and congratulations to Jodi who won (in respect) for having found at least rhythmically the meaning of this score...
It's good finally this mutual help between members and I'm sure that others could have found too : Greece is not so far ! What puts off the most, it's like for the Russian (Cyrillic) and other Chinese .... (and so on) are the cabalistic signs used for the writing ....
Good music and good singing to all !jmimi

Hello Cindou11
This is disappointing and I understand your dismay.
I think that in this case I would delete all the pages of the scores that are not assembled, as you did to delete the requests made in the "Classifieds".
Have a nice day.

Hello to all and to the good wills who share their deposits .
However, I REMEMBER, as in any "community", that there is a rule, yet simple to follow ...
1) Just respect the repositories of other members, the work done to scan, share ... to be drowned under tons of scores the same day, even the music is not respected, it's a waste, I repeat 5 deposits per person per day (if you want, are enough to be APPRECIATED!!!
2) The PDF format is clearly explained to be put into practice!!! and to "find oneself" with page 1 / page 2 etc .... imagine a little in a while the person who is really looking for the whole score ... well, good luck!
3) It's up to me to spend SOME time there, (even if I don't have a knife in my throat) ... But, leaving the site like this, is bound to "pollute" it ....
Thanks ♫♫

Good evening Cindou11
It's really sad to see that some depositors don't care about the regulations in force on the site.it's not Chinese to be applied when depositing and to do your best so that you have fewer corrections to make.I think that since the beginning of P-A you have seen all the "Colors".Good evening.

Hello Cindou11
As I understand you; one has the impression that some depositors are satisfied to make profit their scores and they say certainly, since they offer, why worry about the presentation ;
It is obvious that it is a total lack of respect towards You Cindou11, which does not cease to restore practically all the deposits, ; how many hours spent to correct, mention, reposition and it is annoying in the long run....
Good luck Cindou11 and a big thank you.AmitiésVernonait

Hello to all,
Some "common sense" rules to remember ...
On this great site, we share our :
- Requests for scores, our knowledge on some subjects, and we deposit scores: It is a sharing!
- However, and so that each score is appreciated at its right value ... it is also important, to share the space ... that is, a reasonable deposit of a maximum of 5 scores per day by the same member ...
- It is also very easy to hunt on the net the scores compared to those who scan, hence the respect of 5 deposits .
- Also try to respect the writing of composers already existing in the database ...
THANK YOU for your attention and daily involvement so that P. A remains P. A ♫♫
Cindou11

Hello again,
In 1 : Read what was just written yesterday !
In 2: Reminder / A title begins with a CAPITAL letter and continues in lower case ...
P. A is not a deposit contest!!! So easy to retrieve from the net right and left and deposit!!!

And ..... especially to those who deposit without even reading the rules, or, as they see fit ... ignoring all friendly messages in Private ...
Thank you for :- Think of depositing in PDF format and merged score
- Thank you to write correctly, the titles, the real composers, the interpreters are to be noted (in brackets) beside the title.

Hello cindou
Thank you for these messages that seem simple, concise, well written, which I think should be understood by 99% of members ... I keep the margin of 1% in case it is a dog or goldfish that has clicked to connect to the site ... . ( you never know ).
I log in almost every day, even several times a day, because I like to answer the section requesting a score. By reading I discover titles of pieces and genres that I did not play.
I'm looking forward to the new slade site which is long overdue because I have some suggestions to make. ( compared to the current site ).
There are those who deposit a lot ... and those who take a lot ... when you see I deposited a score in 1/2h it has been downloaded more times than a score that is here for 10 years (of course it's an image) and all this of course without THANKS and every day I look and I update ... and I update ... and it goes up and up.
To come back to a few lines above, I don't think I'm part of the 1% ...
We don't have the same quantity distributed, that's for sure, but I don't hesitate to buy my scores or to contact the composers themselves who are very nice and affordable.
I think you have a lot of courage to do all that you have done for this site. Some people must have a lot of fun with what you post. And I don't mean everyone...
As I was already told the site is cheap considering what's on it ... ppffff what an argument ... people pay so they can do what they want ? ... is it a supermarket ? we come there we do our shopping and we go back ...
I repeat myself but I'm waiting for the new version to see if with the new features things will not change but be improved.
I repeat again, thank you for all that you bring and all the time you spend to make things work!

In fact, I just logged on to try .... To have less grief and !!! :
It's just unmanageable!!! A contest of deposits made in a hurry, who better, I have to explain nicely in private message, NOTHING!!! who cares about the work done!!!
And, guys, it's not because there is written to so many shared scores you have a discount that you have to put a bunch of them anyhow !!!
No respect !!! We send, we steal on other sites, we have fun !!!
There, the guys if I give up considering my state !!! But the site is becoming a mess !!!
It just took me 3 years to put the site back together visually !!!

Cindou, I think that here, we have the same functioning as in the association that I know very well. To caricature: a few people who give a little or a lot to make the site work, a very large majority of people who "work" correctly without getting involved, a minimum of egoists who live only for themselves, do not respect anything and occupy the administrators at 80%...This is unfortunately inevitable! Only one question: what percentage of users read your messages? Not sure that those who make you angry do!
In the immediate future, and I think I proposed it a few years ago (the problem is not new), I would delete all the repositories that cause problems...

Good luckMichel

Good evening Cavag31,
The suggestion that you mention to remove illegal deposits I had already raised it a few years ago too, to our friend Cindou11 but also to Slade who alone can decide on the follow-up.
I will also underline that on our Super Site there is a lot of j'en foutres......
Good evening and good weekend.

Thank you guys ♫♫ Thank you all ♫♫
I know that to delete, one click, and ... bye bye .. and, I can also do it ....
But, to do so, I have already said, I feel like depriving members of a repository despite everything interesting for some ... or not for others ... and this is not my goal...
Well, by nature a bit manic "paperly" speaking, as long as it's not clean, it disturbs me, so ... I get carried away ...
And, given "my" current context, indeed by connecting me, to see the mess, well when it is not checked for a few days, it is .... that it shows well !
Thanks to you friends, my Mom's last trip is tomorrow ...., I couldn't see her, it's going to be a shock !
Thanks for your support, keep pointing out errors, duplicates, help on the forum to answer members, it HELPS A LOT ♫♫

Hello to all,

the increase in deposits is due to the current situation. People have a lot more free time.
This will all go down I hope soon.unfortunately there is no easy way to fix the problem. If you have any suggestions, I would be happy to hear them.

For the new site (which I know is long overdue), the composers/performers, genres etc... are in tag form, which should remove most of the corrections that need to be made, as everything will be formatted and displayed automatically.

The site is slow to develop because it is a whole platform dedicated to the creation of Internet site in general which is in development.
The goal is to be able to make the site and future sites evolve more quickly and more easily and to have a real administration interface precisely to facilitate corrections and general maintenance of the website.

It's the last straight line, 90% of the site is finished,
I thank you for your patience, I am aware that the current site is far from optimal, and that's why we try to improve things.
Cindou, I'm sorry to hear about your mom, I'll contact you by private message.

In fact, for the moment, in terms of writing, for composers or others, if you don't respect upper and lower case, well, nothing comes out ....

Type: Verchuren / and everything will come out .
It's going to be okay ... ♫♫

Hello,
Indeed I converted the database to work with the new version. This had unintended effects on the search...
The artists should be repaired but there is still a problem with the case. The search is case sensitive.
I'll fix it tomorrow.
