i sometimes just get the sheet music at the library and copy what i really like an put it into a folder
You are very luck then to have a local library with any accordion music in it. For me the closest library with accordion music would be in Toronto... a brief 570 kilometers away... lol

That is, unfortunately, not much of a source for most accordion players.
Actually I think Paul Debra's suggestion is a useful one. I've found some great forgotten french harmonium music on there, long out of print, which sounds magnifique à l'accordéon!

Printed music sources
Hello Accordionists, I would like to start a posting on Internet sources for printed accordion music. This could be a collection of links with a comment on its content. As new links come in I will edit the posting so it will always remain on top. General source for scores of all types...

Thanks! Yes, I do them in abc in a text editor. I use the abc converter on here:

Someday I plan to organize them all in a regular website. We'll see!
Sorry for the delay. It's on this site, just under "teaching and learning"
Sorry I should have said that the first thread in "Tunes and how to play them" gives you the list of sitesSorry for the delay. It's on this site, just under "teaching and learning"

Got there in the end. Cheers and Many Thanks. Have to say I'm totally put off with sites like Scribd and nkoda which are all digital and don't seem to allow you to print anything off which is a must for sheet music IMHO.
If you can get the sheet music on your screen but can't download it you can always fall back on the "prnt scrn" function on the top row of buttons on the computer keyboard. You can then save it as a pdf , print it, cut off all the unnecessary stuff round the edges then you have a workable copy. Not as good as the original but better than nothing.

Yes, that would be better than taking a photograph of the computer screen which is what I've always done!
I do this a lot. On my Windows computer the built in Snip and Sketch app allows you to set it to activate after 3 or 10 seconds. I set up the music as large and full as possible and the it allows me to select a rectangle that I can save and print to printer or pdf. I won't mention my go to site for finding the sheets but you can pm me.
In Windows you can use their snipping tool (I think it's called "snipit") to capture just what you want from the screen and eliminate the unnecessary stuff round the edges. The image can be saved as a pdf or jpeg file.

On the iMac - 'shift+command+4 presents you with an on-screen + with which to determine the area you wish to copy off the screen by dragging it with the mouse with the left 'click' held. Releasing the key creates a screen shot on the 'desk top'.
This can then be opened in 'Preview' and manipulated with any of the tools in that app.
