Split Sheet
A split sheet is one page that says who wrote what percentage of a song. Signed before release, it prevents 90% of the fights that kill collaborations. This tool builds it in two minutes — nothing uploads, no signup.
Composition split (writer's share): melody, lyrics, chords, beat. The percentages must add up to 100.
Sign before release. After the song takes off, every conversation about money gets ten times harder.
Composition and master are different splits. This sheet covers the composition; who owns the recording is a separate agreement.
Register the same percentages with your PRO / publisher. The sheet is the agreement; the registration is what pays.
This is a working template, not legal advice: for releases with real money involved, have a lawyer look at it.
Why splits are the standard here
I produce with the split signed up front — 25 years of records taught me it's the only way collaborations survive success. If you make music and already have an audience, tell me about your project.
