Handshake now, headache later. Write the splits down.
Every co-written song needs one piece of paper: who contributed, what role, what percentage. Fill it here, watch it total 100, print it, everyone signs. Five minutes against a lifetime of 'we never agreed to that.'
Nothing is uploaded — your audio never leaves your device.
Total: 0%
Splits must total exactly 100% before the sheet prints.
Names live only in this browser — nothing is uploaded and nothing enters the URL. A template, not legal advice.
Splits settled? Now make the song earn them.

Frequently asked questions
What is a split sheet and when do I need one?
A one-page agreement listing everyone who contributed to a song's writing and their ownership percentages. Fill it the day the song is written — while everyone's happy and remembers who did what. It's the document publishers, distributors, and PROs ask for when money appears.
How should percentages be decided?
However the writers agree — that's the honest answer. Common patterns: equal splits among all writers (the modern default), 50% lyrics / 50% music (the traditional split), or contribution-weighted. The only wrong answer is not writing it down.
Is this legally binding?
A signed split sheet is strong evidence of the agreement, and many disputes end the moment one appears. But this tool is a template, not legal advice — for significant money or complicated situations, a music attorney reviews it.
Where does my data go?
Nowhere. Names and splits live in your browser's memory and localStorage only — never uploaded, never in the URL. Print it, save the PDF, and it exists only on paper you control.
