Changelog

We’ve improved the security and convenience of our sign in process by replacing passwords with “magic links”. This means that you can enjoy Parts and Score without needing to remember a password.

Because passwords are less secure than other forms of user authentication, our switch to magic links gives Parts and Score an edge when it comes to protecting your data.

To help protect composers and to align with industry standards, we’ve added a minimum price and quantity for all products on Parts and Score.

This change will help ensure that composers are fairly compensated for their work and that the industry remains sustainable.

Note: We’re only enforcing these minimums for new music or updates to existing music. Existing music will not be affected.

You can now purchase music without signing in. This means:

• You can purchase music without first creating an account. We’ll automatically create an account for you.
• You can purchase music without signing in to your account. We’ll automatically associate purchases using your email with your account.

This makes it even easier to buy music on Parts and Score.

We still require everyone to create an account to view purchased music on Parts and Score. That way we can verify you have the rights to view the music you purchased. If you purchase music without first creating an account, we’ll send you an email with instructions to access your account to view your music.
