How do I document song ownership splits as a UK songwriter?

Use a split sheet at the end of every writing session. The Credits Due campaign provides a free template that captures all essential information: each writer's legal name, IPI number, publishing affiliation, contact details, and agreed percentage splits. Have everyone sign it before leaving the session. This simple document can prevent years of disputes and ensures everyone can be properly registered with PRS/MCPS. If splits aren't finalised, at minimum document who was present and contributed creatively.
