How to Split Songwriting Credits

Songwriters, when you create songs with other individuals, it becomes an inseparable joint work. That means for registration purposes, the copyright office does not care about each individual contribution. Split sheets and contracts are primarily used to agree upon profit share. Using 100% as the total negotiate the share of your contribution from there. If you contributed more than 50%, negotiate for more. At no time should you be negotiating each person's contribution to the lyrics and music separately.
