Out of all of the types of music contracts, co-publishing (co-pub) agreements are the most frequently used. Under this agreement, the music publishing company and the artist are partners, and both parties co-own the copyrights to the music. Terms can vary widely, but a 50/50 split is common.

Under the exclusive agreement, the songwriter agrees to assign all compositions written during a specified term (for example, 2 years from January 1 or 1 year with four options), with the guarantee of a share of the income generated and usually a proviso for weekly or monthly payments.

A Publishing or Song-writing Agreement is the document by which a songwriter assigns the copyright in their compositions to a music publisher in exchange for royalties and, in appropriate cases, an advance against those royalties.

These ownership percentages determine how publishing royalties will be "split" between creators. When all parties sign, split sheets become legally binding.

Typically, music publishers and artists will split the composition copyright 50/50: 50% for publishing rights and 50% for writer's rights. This means that the publisher will receive 50% of any royalties and the artist will receive the other 50%.

In the absence of a written agreement you automatically share equally, even if your contributions clearly were not equal. Thus, with two songwriters, you own the song 50-50; three songwriters, one-third each; and so on.
