Catalogue Splits Cleanup — Negotiating distribution and label deals

Get every released song splits-clean in seven days.

Audit your released catalogue, identify every song with missing or contested splits, and close the gaps with signed paperwork. This is the single highest-leverage week of publishing admin you can do.

The plan, day by day

1. Day 1Export a list of every song you've released. Add columns for co-writers, agreed splits, and signed-yes/no.
2. Day 2Fill in everything you remember. Flag every song where 'signed' is no or unclear.
3. Day 3Draft a friendly outreach message to co-writers on flagged songs. Send the first batch.
4. Day 4Send the rest. Use a one-page split sheet template attached to every message.
5. Day 5Confirm PRO affiliation for every co-writer. Update your records.
6. Day 6Register or re-register any song with newly confirmed splits at your PRO and publishing admin.
7. Day 7Save the template and the signed sheets in one folder you can find in 30 seconds.
