Overview
In this article, you will learn more about the types of documents you can upload to support your Publishing song registrations.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please make sure your documents are signed and clearly show role and percentage details to avoid delays in publishing approval (examples and templates can be found below).
To help you get started, we’ve provided examples and templates for both a Producer Agreement and a Split Sheet, which you can download below.
Producer Agreement Example
A producer agreement outlines the terms of collaboration, roles, and publishing splits between artists and producers.
DownloadSplit Sheet Example
A completed split sheet typically includes the names of all contributors, their roles (e.g., composer, lyricist), and the agreed publishing percentages.

DownloadWhy do I need documentation for Publishing Registrations?
In order for BeatStars Publishing to collect your publishing royalties on your behalf, we require that all publishing registrations are supported by a signed document evidencing your ownership.
When you submit a song to the BeatStars Publishing Portal, you will have the opportunity to upload your signed documentation.
What documents can I upload?
As shown above, you can upload a signed agreement that outlines the full publishing splits among all collaborators. This can be one of the following:
- A BeatStars Non-Exclusive or Exclusive License
- A signed Producer Agreement
- A signed Split Sheet
IMPORTANT NOTE: The document must be signed and specify the full publishing splits for all collaborators on the song.
