MMG Cue Sheet Reports

ABOUT CUE SHEETS

Cue Sheets are used to keep track of all music used in television, film, or radio productions. It is a legal requirement and costs you nothing to submit a cue sheet. As the primary means by which performing rights organizations track the use of music in films and TV, cue sheets make it possible for composers and publishers to be compensated for their work. Cue sheets are only needed when the music will be broadcast on television, radio, or appear in a film release as specified in your Music License Agreement.

CUE SHEET INSTRUCTIONS:

1. To submit a cue sheet for your production, first open the MMG Cue Sheet. This is an easy-to-use online .pdf which you may fill out while it's open on your monitor by simply clicking inside of the first field and typing in the applicable information. You may then use the tab key to proceed through each subsequent field.
