ABOUT CUE SHEETS

Cue Sheets are used to keep track of all music used in television, film, or radio productions. It is a legal requirement and costs you nothing to submit a cue sheet. As the primary means by which performing rights organizations track the use of music in films and TV, cue sheets make it possible for composers and publishers to be compensated for their work. Cue sheets are only needed when the music will be broadcast on television, radio, or appear in a film release as specified in your Music License Agreement.
