Robert Safir over at Linkedin left this answer: “Art, if you use ASCAP’s Quick Form, you simply need to add the publisher’s share (50%), and not state the territory. I haven’t used the long form for this, but I imagine you’d want to put US, Canada, and World.”
Depends on the library. A higher end library might do it but generally the composer would.

Thanks Art! This is very helpful.How long does it take to start seeing sales like the ones in the article,if you’re good.
RozP.S.Do you know the best World Fusion libraries?
There is no way to know that and “good” is a relative term.
Not to be evasive but what works best for one composer, and a library, could/would be different for another. It’s all about a lot of cues with patience and persistence, spread around a number of libraries. You really need a few hundred and be at it for a few years. Probably best with 1000 to 1500 tracks (I’m at about 400 and been at it about 6 years). There are a lot of variables so YMMV.
Don’t know anything about World Fusion libraries but I’m sure someone will post here.
Check the poll here for a good example on the number of libraries composers are in: https://musiclibraryreport.com/polls-archive/
Hi Brian, this has been covered a lot here. Try this for some insight: https://musiclibraryreport.com/music-retitling/retitling/
“It would be great to see a Contract Length parameter added to the search engine.”
Ask and you may sometimes receive! 🙂
“Contract Length” search field has been added.
I think it’s more than reasonable to ask for an income threshold, if a library want’s to own a copyright without paying in advance. What that amount might be would vary with each individual.
I think just about all of the royalty free library sites have that.
Thanks Rob!
Have you contacted your own PRO?
“What are the “standard” terms for an Exclusive library with no up front money?”
Generally speaking I would say 50/50 on sync license and 50/50 on PRO income with some type if reversion clause after two or three years. Income threshold on reversion if necessary.
Thanks Cari!
The problem with trying to move everything to the forum format is that there are over 17,000 posts and comments. There may be software to do that at some point but I doubt I would even attempt it if there were.
The library stuff will stay as is and general conversations will be carried on in the forums.
“What’s the point of this forum?”
Under the heading that you can’t please everyone!A forum is something that has been requested a number of times over the years. It should be easier to keep track of topics and conversations as the “comment” style of responding to a particular question can quickly get chaotic. The forums will remain free.
