Thanks for sharing the idea.
Actually user generated accompaniments along with more advanced social features are things we plan to develop in the future.
Why we do not do it now then ?
Because we want to build serious tools to ensure the quality and structure of the content.
We want the musician to be able to play the exact work he/she is looking for in seconds: 1 click to find the work, 1 click to print the score, 1 click to launch the full orchestra and start playing.
It is a real challenge to provide this kind of experience with user-generated content (just imagine the number of user-generated recordings needed to build a full orchestra on a given movement, then you need to mix them, ensure they have the same tonality, tempo, etc.).
That's the first reason for which we don't make it available right now.
The second reason is that we provide customizable accompaniments (you can change the tempo and tonality of the orchestra to suit your needs).
Again, making it available with user-generated content needs advanced music recognition algorithms.
We are already working on this and it will be part of the offer in the medium term.
We have already included some social features for sharing recordings though: on a given movement, musicians can upload their own interpretation and share it with others. Musicians can listen to each others' interpretations and give comments and quality ratings.
We totally agree this is just a start ...
