Search or browse for the sheet you want and find out which pianofiles member owns the sheet. Clicking on any member name will bring you to the member's profile page. You can submit a message in the contact form and request the sheet you are looking for.
The most likely way to obtain the sheet you want is to offer a trade. By submitting your own sheet collection into PianoFiles, other members will start contacting you and offer a trade. This way, you will enlarge your collection very quickly and without searching the net. In fact, the sheets will come to you!

A Pianofiles account is free for anyone. You will be able to contact everyone and find the sheet you are looking for.
Pianofiles does have a pro account for members who wish to get access to advanced search features.
You can't. You can only obtain sheets from other pianofiles users by contacting them via their profile page and ask them whether they want to trade a sheet against one of yours.
You can only contact a pianofiles member when you are registered. So log in or register and you will be able to send a message to the member via the profile page.
Any member can hide the contact form on their profile page which means you and other members will not be able to send an email to them. Reasons for hiding the contact form are often members who are on holiday or just wish not to be contacted for a specific period.
All messages sent to you via the contact form are sent directly to your email address. Pianofiles does not store messages, so keep them safely in your mailbox.
In case you didn't find the sheet you are looking for, you can request a sheet. Your requests will be displayed on your profile page, so other members can see what you are looking for. What's more, every 2 days pianofiles will scan the database if there are new results found and report that to you.
Requesting a new password is simple: fill in the request a new password form and you'll receive an email with further instructions.
There might be several reasons you didn't find the registration email:
- Check your spam folder
- Add noreply@pianofiles.com to your address book and request a new registration email
- Check your mail provider settings to make sure their spam filter is not too restrictive
Go to your profile and hit the Edit your profile link. At the bottom of the form, you will find the delete button.
- original: the original sheet music. This can sometimes be hard to tell.
- transcription: arranged by someone, either in another key or just trying to copy the original song. The sheet will usually list a credit like "Arranged by..." or "Transcribed by..."
- other: maybe a piano solo arrangement
- easy: an easy play sheet. This is usually indicated on the sheets.
- book: instead of typing in all the titles, you can also use a book title.
