How to Read a Songwriter Splits Agreement

What a split sheet has to contain, why writer and publisher shares are counted separately, and the mistakes that stall payment.

4 min read

A split sheet names every writer, their contribution, and their percentage. All writer shares must add to 100%. Publisher shares must also add to 100%.

We register the splits you confirm. If co-writers disagree, societies freeze the work. Settle it first, then send it in.
