Composition
Who wrote the music and/or lyrics, and what shares the writers agree belong to each person.
Credits desk
MEMORY IS NOT A SPLIT SHEET.
Original music creates another kind of accessibility problem: vague expectations become conflict. Write down who contributed, what the parties believe the songwriting percentages are, who owns the recording, and which questions are still unresolved before a release is uploaded.
Three things people confuse
Song. Recording. Performance.
A person can write part of the underlying composition, perform on a recording without writing the song, own part of a master, or do several of those things at once. ANCHOR can help the group record decisions; it should not pretend a browser form replaces legal advice, registration or a signed agreement.
Master
Who owns the particular sound recording. Funding, contracts and production relationships can affect this.
Performance / production credits
Who played, sang, produced, engineered, mixed, arranged, photographed or otherwise contributed—even when that does not create a songwriting share.
