Questions

What is a split sheet?

A split sheet records who wrote or produced a song and what percentage each person owns. Sign it before you release, so there are no arguments when the song earns money.

Do I need one if I wrote the song alone?

No. It matters when two or more people contributed, including producers and featured artists.

Is a signed PDF binding?

A written agreement signed by everyone is strong evidence of what was agreed. For high-value deals, have a lawyer review it.
