Usually, if someone uses music for any
production that is to be publicly performed (i.e., in a film or production for broadcast on a television network, a radio station, a theatrical release, etc.), filling out a
cue sheet is required. A
cue sheet is a document that contains a detailed listing of each piece of music used in such a production, including the composers(s), publisher(s), usage of the music (background, theme, etc.), length of the music, and a title for each piece of music. This is an "Industry Standard". You can find a sample cue-sheet here: (
Sample cue sheet).
The
cue sheet is usually prepared by producers and then provided to a broadcaster along with a produced film, video, TV show, etc. (let's say "project"), so that the broadcaster can report the use of the music (
submit a cue sheet) to a Performing Rights Organization every time a project is broadcast. This process is free and does not cost the producers any money.
Performing Rights Organizations use the details provided on the
cue sheets to identify and pay performance royalties to composers. All broadcast companies, as well as any companies that play music in public (hotels, restaurants, cinemas, airports, theaters, athletic clubs, etc.), pay annual fees to their local Performing Rights Organizations. Then these fees are divided among composers and publishers.

During the purchase process, when you choose the license type that suits your needs, we will inform you if a cue sheet is needed and if so we will supply you with a relevant sheet on the spot.
