Split sheet software for artists, labels and collaborators
Capture splits, contributor details and approvals early, then carry that record through royalty statements, invoices and accounting.
Fix split problems before release
Capture ownership before disputes happen
Capture contributors, roles and ownership
Record who did what on every track. Writers, producers, performers, mixers. Define ownership percentages clearly.
Add IPI/IPN numbers, PRO affiliations, and publisher information. Track both master and composition ownership separately. Support for complex co-writing scenarios with unlimited contributors.
Approval workflows
Send splits to collaborators for review and approval. Get sign-off before release, not after disputes arise.
Track who has approved and who is pending. Retain collaborator approvals and signed PDFs as supporting evidence. Legal enforceability depends on the agreement and circumstances.
Multi-rights and complex split flows
Keep master and composition split records, contributor details and supporting rights context together.
Support for separate ownership structures across different rights types. Track producer points, writer shares, and master ownership independently. Handle reversions and assignment changes over time.
Advances and recoupment tracking
Link advances to contributors and track recoupment status. See who has recouped and who is still unrecouped.
Manage advance payments per contributor or per release. Automatic recoupment calculations based on royalty splits. Clear visibility into recoupment waterfalls and payback timelines.
Licensing authorities and assignments
Track who has authority to license what, and record assignment changes with full audit history.
Document licensing authority for sync, mechanical, and performance rights. Record copyright assignments with effective dates. Export assignment documentation for legal and administrative purposes.
Territorial rights management
Define ownership that varies by territory. Handle different splits for different regions worldwide.
Keep territory and sub-publisher context beside split records. Advanced territorial calculations and publishing allocations have preview limitations; confirm the supported scope before relying on them.
From creation to approval to accounting
Create a split sheet
Add a new track or release. Enter contributors, roles, and ownership percentages.
Invite collaborators
Send the split sheet to contributors for review. They can accept, request changes, or add details.
Capture approvals
Once everyone signs off, the split is locked and logged. Changes require new approval rounds.
Connect to accounting
Use reviewed split records to inform supported royalty calculations. Check rights, accounting scope and any exceptions before statement approval.

Frequently asked questions
What is a split sheet?
A split sheet is a document that records the ownership percentages for a piece of music. It specifies who wrote, produced, or contributed to a track and what percentage of royalties each person is entitled to receive.
Why are split sheets important in music?
Split sheets document the ownership shares collaborators have agreed and give everyone a record to review before royalties arrive. Clear records can help resolve questions, but do not guarantee that disputes will be prevented.
Can artists approve splits in Roster?
Yes. Roster includes approval workflows that let collaborators review and sign off on split sheets. Approvals are logged with timestamps for a complete audit trail.
Can labels use split sheets for royalty accounting?
Yes. Reviewed split records can support royalty accounting. Your team should confirm the agreed terms, applicable rights and calculation scope before approving statements.
Does Roster store contributor records?
Yes. Roster maintains contributor profiles with legal names, roles, payment details, and ownership history. This data stays connected to releases and royalty records.

The independent Artist Plan is $8.99/month after a seven-day trial. Label Split Sheets is a separate optional feature subscription at $8.99/month after a seven-day trial.
