recently we had to split up all our songs into composer/author/arranger for copywriting them.
how do you figure this out? when does an arranger become a composer?
if i write a verse, and someone else writes one with the same melody and changes the words are they an author too?
if someone's bassline is great and adds to the song are they a composer? or are they just writing a line to what was already there?
in an intrumental song can there only be one composer if everyone writes their own parts something already written?
or just put everyone down as having written everything? its not like we're making any money...
any ideas?
