Why splits matter (and why they go wrong)
A split sheet is the agreement between everyone who contributed to a song about who owns what percentage of the songwriting and publishing. It's how mechanical and performance royalties get accurately registered with your PRO and publishing administrator. Most disputes between co-writers come from never putting the agreement in writing the day the song was finished.
What to capture
- Track title + date. Lock the version of the song the splits apply to.
- Each contributor's legal name. The name registered with their PRO — not a stage name unless the PRO has it tied that way.
- Role. Lyrics, music, both, production, etc. Useful context for the publishing admin and avoids ambiguity if questions come up later.
- Share %.Everything must sum to exactly 100. The tool above won't let you copy a sheet that doesn't.
What this tool isn't
This is a fast-capture worksheet, not a legal contract. For larger commercial deals, use a counsel-drafted split agreement. Master ownership (the recording itself, distinct from the song) is also a separate conversation — typically tracked on its own document.

Split sheets are the easy part. Tracking which release has them on file, signed, and registered with the PRO — that's mgmtOS.
