Story
A split sheet is the page everyone signs after a session. In TRAX it builds itself from the song: the people, their roles, their agreed shares, their society details and their signatures, so nobody retypes anything. Print it, email it, share it, or download it for your accountant. A QR code lets anyone check that it's genuine.
Specifications
- Header: song title, artist, recording date, sessions and where they took place, the project, and the version (how many times the splits have been agreed or amended).
- Contributors:
- name and the legal name they typed when signing; their email once they've been sent the agreement to sign
- role and contribution (composition and lyrics, production, performance, session performance, engineering)
- share of master, publishing and sync
- society (PRO) and IPI number, and publisher
- signature date and verification code
- Totals: master, publishing and sync, each checked against exactly 100% (within 0.005%); a total that doesn't add up is flagged. Shares that aren't agreed yet are shown as proposed.
- Agreement terms: jurisdiction, governing law, dispute handling and how splits can change. These come from the song's latest fully signed split agreement or amendment, otherwise the one waiting on signatures.
- Certification: the agreement's fingerprint, the public verify page with a verification code, a QR code, the last change and when the sheet was made.
- Exports:
- PDF file, Letter (612 × 792 pt) or A4 (595 × 842 pt): paginated with the table header repeated, "Page X of Y" on every page, the "Signed and sealed" badge when it applies, and a vector QR code. Uses Latin standard fonts, so names in other scripts appear as "?" in the PDF and the image.
- image: 1080 × 1350 PNG (the first eight people, then "+N more"; totals; QR once someone has signed)
- print / save as PDF from the browser (print-ready layout)
- email (opens your email app with the sheet in the message)
- your device's share sheet (copies the link where there is none)
- copy the link (the reader signs in to see it)
- copy the public verify link
- downloads: text, CSV (one row per contributor, safe to open in spreadsheets) and JSON (
trax.split-sheet, format version 1) - Who can open it: the song's owner, people with split or money access on the song, and the song's mediator. The sheet shows everyone's shares.
- Signed and sealed: only while the fully signed agreement still matches the sheet (every share agreed, at 100% and covered by it). A new proposal after signing removes the seal until it's agreed and signed again.
- Former team members: someone removed from the team who still holds a share stays on the sheet.
- Phones: the contributor table turns into stacked cards at 700px and narrower.
How to
- Open a song's Rights → Split sheet to make and change it. Change the splits opens the split editor. Send for signatures opens the song's Legal page.
- Open the song's Royalties → Split sheet to share it: Print / save as PDF, Email, Share, Copy link, or Download.
- To check a signed sheet, open the verify page (or scan its QR code) and enter the code printed under a signature.
What you can do
- Get an industry-standard split sheet for any song without retyping anything.
- Download it as a PDF (Letter or A4) or an image, print it, email it, share it from your phone, or download it as text, CSV or JSON.
- Let anyone check a signature on the public verify page, no account needed (once the split agreement is signed — Pro Studio and up).
What you can't do (yet)
- Attach the PDF to the email automatically. Download the PDF, then attach it.
- Add witness signatures.
- Edit the sheet directly. Change the splits or the agreement, and the sheet follows.
- Show names in non-Latin scripts in the PDF or the image (Latin fonts). The on-screen sheet and the text, CSV and JSON downloads keep them.
Plans
- Producer Starter: the split sheet and all its exports (PDF, image, print, email, share, links, text / CSV / JSON), with shares and contributors. No signatures — split agreements aren't on Starter — so nothing to verify yet.
- Pro Studio: adds split agreements with e-signature, so the sheet carries signatures, verification codes, the QR code and the "Signed and sealed" seal; and society / IPI details from the song's Royalties Overview.
- Label Enterprise: same as Pro Studio for the sheet.
- White Label (by waitlist): same, with your branding across TRAX.
