Frequently asked questions

What is a split sheet?

A split sheet is a document that records the ownership percentages of a song between all contributors. It identifies who wrote, produced, or performed on the track and what percentage of royalties each person is entitled to.

Do I need a split sheet for every collaboration?

Yes. Every collaboration should have a split sheet, even between friends. Without one, disputes over ownership and royalties are common and can be expensive to resolve. Creating one takes 60 seconds with this tool.

Can I get my split sheet digitally signed?

Yes. After creating your split sheet, click "Send for Signing" to email it to all collaborators. Each person reviews the document, confirms their details, and signs digitally. You receive the fully signed PDF when everyone is done.

Is the digital signature legally valid?

Yes. Digital signatures comply with the ESIGN Act (US), UETA, and eIDAS (EU). A digitally signed split sheet serves as strong evidence of the agreed ownership splits. Note: a split sheet is a memorandum of understanding, not a formal contract — but a signed one carries significantly more weight than an unsigned one.

Do my collaborators need an account to sign?

No. Collaborators receive an email with a signing link. They review, fill in their details, sign, and they're done. No accounts, no downloads, no apps.

What is a PRO and IPI number?

A PRO (Performing Rights Organization) collects royalties on behalf of songwriters and publishers. Examples include BMI, ASCAP, PRS, and SOCAN. An IPI (Interested Parties Information) number is a unique identifier assigned to you by your PRO. Both fields are optional but recommended.
