Songwriter splits
Songwriters usually split their share according to their contribution. If two people write together as equals, it's often 50 % each. What matters is that everyone has talked about it beforehand.
Split Sheets
Split fairly. No paperwork chaos.
Decide per song who gets how much of the royalties. Everyone involved confirms their share – by email or in the dashboard.
What you get
- ✓Shares per song or for the whole release

What is a split sheet?
A split sheet records who is involved in a song and what percentage of the revenue each person is entitled to – songwriters, producers, features, and others. Together, the shares add up to 100%.
That way, there's no discussion later about who gets what. The royalties are then distributed according to these shares.
Splitting made easy
You just enter the percentages – the dashboard takes care of the rest.
Participants from the credits
Everyone listed as a credit in the release appears in the split sheet. You just enter the percentage shares.
Per song or for everything
Split each song individually or set one split for all tracks of a release.
Confirmation without hurdles
Participants confirm via email link or in the dashboard. If they have an account, they can also propose a share themselves.
Frozen until resolved
As long as a share isn't confirmed or remains disputed, it stays frozen. This protects everyone involved.
New versions
If the shares change, you create a new version. The participants confirm it again.

Four steps to your split sheet
You'll find everything in the dashboard under Royalties → Split Sheets.
01
Add credits
Add the contributors to your release in the Track Credits. They are the basis for the split sheet.
02
Open the split sheet
Under Royalties → Split Sheets you'll see all releases that don't have a split sheet yet.
03
Set the shares
Enter the percentage for each person involved (100 % in total) and choose when the split takes effect.
04
Get confirmation
Everyone involved gets a message and confirms their share. If someone doesn't reply, we'll remind them automatically.
Setting shares sensibly
There's no fixed rule, but there are a few points of reference.
Producer splits
Producers can also receive a share of the revenue. How high it is gets agreed individually and depends on what they contributed, for example beat, arrangement, recording or mix.
What affects the amount
- Role and scope of the contribution
- Experience and profile of those involved
- Agreements between artist and producer
- Fees already paid
What a split sheet doesn't replace
The split sheet governs how the revenue received via OneCrewRecords is divided. It doesn't replace contracts between the people involved.
Note
We don't keep a single cent of your royalties.
The split sheet only governs how you share your portion with your contributors.
Frequently asked questions about split sheets
Who creates the split sheet?
The owner of the release, meaning the account that created the release. The participants come from the credits.
Do all participants need an account?
No. They can also confirm via an email link. Shares for credit artists are handled through the account that created them.
What happens if someone objects?
The share stays frozen until the matter is resolved. The objection reaches you along with the reason given, and Support can help if needed.
Can I change shares later?
Yes, with a new version that the participants confirm again. Royalties that have already been released remain unchanged.
Does the split apply retroactively?
You choose: from the release date (retroactively from release) or from the date of entry (from the month in which the most recently added participant was entered).
Does the split sheet replace a contract?
No. It records how the revenue is divided, but not any other agreements between the participants.
