Create and send a split sheet
By the end everyone on a track will have agreed their shares in writing, and the signed split sheet will be stored with the music, not lost in someone’s inbox.
Before you start
- A track, and the names of everyone with a share in it.
- Your IPI number in Settings. Vandall adds it when you sign. Adding it later doesn’t update a document you’ve already signed.
- 1
Start the split sheet
Open the track’s Agreements tab and tap Split Sheet Agreement, below any agreements the track already has. Do this while everyone still remembers who did what. A split sheet takes minutes on the day and can take weeks to negotiate a year later.
- You now see the first of three steps, asking you to name the agreement.
- 2
Name it
On Define info for splits, give the agreement a name you’ll recognise in a list: the song plus what it is, such as "Freedom split sheet". Press Continue. The track’s metadata is copied into the document for you.
- You now see the Define people involved step, ready for you to add people.
- The three numbered dots at the top show which step you’re on: Song info, Add people, Define terms.
- 4
Check it, then send it
Press Continue to preview. Check the Recipients list carefully: these are the people who will be asked to sign, and a wrong name here is wrong on the document. Add a note in Message for recipients if you like, then press Send agreement. Not ready yet? Press Save draft and close.
- You now see the agreement sent and waiting for signatures.
- 5
Sign one that comes to you
Open the agreement from the Agreements tab and press Sign Agreement, next to Download. Check your Accreditation Information in the signing panel. If it says Not defined, press Edit in profile to add it in Settings; you come back without losing your place. Type your name and press Accept and sign.
- You now see the agreement marked as signed by you, with your numbers on it.
What the wizard asks for
- Agreement name
- How you’ll find it later. Use the song and the document type. "Split sheet 2" won’t help once there are four of them.
- People
- Everyone with a share, including you. You start at 100%, so adjust your own share as you add others.
- Someone without an account
- Can be listed on the agreement but can’t sign in Vandall. Plan how you’ll collect their signature before you send.
- Recipients
- The people who will be asked to sign. It’s your last check before the agreement goes out.
- Accreditation Information
- Your accreditation numbers, taken from Settings when you sign. Not defined means you haven’t added any yet. Press Edit in profile to add them without losing your place.
- The signed agreement
- Stays on its track, so the document and the music are always together.
Ways people use this
The session where everyone is still in the room
Create the split sheet before people leave. Agreeing shares at the desk takes ten minutes. The same conversation over email three months later can take weeks, or never finish.
A contributor who is not on Vandall
List them so the document is complete, then get their signature the way you normally would. Don’t leave them off because it’s easier. An incomplete split sheet causes more trouble than an awkward one.
Your IPI is not on file yet
Add it in Settings before you sign. The document records your numbers at the moment you sign, so adding them later means signing again.
Tips
- Fill in the track’s metadata before you start. It’s copied into the document, and fixing it afterwards means collecting every signature again.
