Pressed when everyone agrees
Six people in a session. Someone changes a line in the second chorus. A year later there's money, and nobody agrees whose line it was.
A split sheet decides who owns a song. Most get written last, from memory, over text messages, once there is already something to argue about. Blend writes yours first and keeps it current as the song changes.
Four steps, and the paperwork is done
- 01
Post the starting point
Put up a track, a vocal or a lyric sheet. Tag it with the key and tempo so people know what they are walking into.
- 02
Parts come in
People record straight into the booth, in time with your track, and send you the take.
- 03
You choose, then propose
Pick the parts that made the song. Propose the split. Nothing locks until everyone has agreed to it.
- 04
Publish freezes it
The sheet becomes final. One document, agreed by everyone on it, and no longer editable by anyone.
Everyone in the room, and the people who come after
Writers, singers, producers
Find songs that need exactly what you do. Put a part in. If the Head picks it, your share goes on the sheet that day, not reconstructed from memory a year later.
Whoever is running the song
You're Head of Song: you choose who gets on it and what each part is worth. The maths is fixed pools, so the sheet always totals 100% without you doing arithmetic at midnight.
A&R and sync
Hear songs while they are still being made, and keep a private shortlist. Every published song arrives with its ownership already settled.
The booth and the sheet
The singer records in the booth, and the take lands on the section it is for.
Blend's booth sits inside the split sheet. A singer records against your track, in time, and the take arrives attached to its section. The Head hears it there, picks it, and that section's share is agreed on the same page.
What people ask before they start
What is a split sheet?
A split sheet is a one-page document that says who wrote a song and what share of it each person owns. Everyone named on it agrees to it. Blend builds yours while the song is being made, and each person agrees their share on screen instead of from memory afterwards.
How does Blend work out the shares?
Each part of a song is worth a fixed amount. The music and the chorus are 25% each, every verse is 15%, every pre-chorus is 5% and the middle 8 is 10%. If a song leaves a part out, its share is spread across the parts it does have, so the sheet always totals exactly 100%.
Does everyone have to agree?
Yes. The person running the song, the Head of Song, proposes who gets which share. A section locks only when every person named on it has agreed. Publishing then freezes the sheet, and nobody can edit it afterwards.
Can I download the sheet?
Yes. Once a song is published, the people credited on it can download the split sheet as a PDF or as a CSV file.
Who can see the percentages?
The Head of Song, everyone credited on the song, and industry accounts (A&R and sync). Someone who has sent a part but is not credited yet sees only their own share. Everyone else sees a sealed sheet: no names and no percentages.
Does it cost anything?
Blend is in a closed beta and there is nothing to pay while it lasts.
Is a Blend split sheet legal advice?
No. It records what the people on a song agreed. It does not replace a contract or a lawyer, and it does not register your work with a performing-rights organisation.
