Cue information
What is a music cue sheet?
A cue sheet is a record of music used in a production. It identifies the composition, rights participants and the way the music was used so performing rights organizations and other parties can process the information.
What information is commonly collected?
- Production and episode title
- Song or cue title
- Composer and writer information
- Publisher information
- PRO affiliation and IPI details
- Usage type
- Duration of the music use
Why accurate cue information matters
Incorrect names, missing publishers or incomplete usage information can create administrative problems later. Organizing the information at the time of the placement makes final cue reporting easier.
