Why You Need a Split Sheet

When a song gets placed on a playlist, synced to a show, or starts earning royalties, ownership can't come down to memory. Publishers, PROs like ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC, and distributors all rely on agreed splits to register the song and pay every writer correctly.

A signed split sheet takes five minutes at the end of a session and prevents the disputes that end collaborations. Read more in why split sheets are non-negotiable for indie collaborations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a split sheet?

A split sheet is a short agreement listing everyone who contributed to a song and the percentage of the song each person owns. All contributors sign it so royalties can be registered and paid correctly.

When should I fill out a split sheet?

Before everyone leaves the session. Percentages are easy to agree on while the song is fresh, and much harder once it's released or earning money.

Can collaborators sign a split sheet online?

Yes. Influanto emails the split sheet to each collaborator, and they can review and sign it online from any device.

Is creating a split sheet free?

Yes. The split sheet generator is free with no account. A free Influanto account saves up to 5 split sheets with e-signatures; Influanto Pro makes it unlimited.
