Income Participant Splits

Complete the Income Participant Splits section of the Song Catalog if musical work is under an income participation type of contract where royalties are based on a commission percentage, instead of writer/publisher ownership splits.

 

In addition to providing documentation of contract/agreement income participant percentages, these splits are used to initialize royalty amounts when Licenses are added for the musical work.

 

 

 

Before you begin, be sure that the income participants exist in the Income Participants list,  so that they are available for selection when defining the royalty splits.

 

From the navigation menu, select the Song Catalog to display a list of musical works. This list is  sorted by Song Name (ascending order) and Special Handling (ascending order). Use the Search or Advanced Search functions to locate the song that you wish to modify.
