Cue Sheets are essentially a list of all music in a given production. They show the song title, composer, publisher, length of play, and the type of usage. If your production is a film, documentary, featurette, radio or television show – we ask that you file a cue sheet with the performing rights organizations (BMI, ASCAP, SESAC).
