The royalty split allocation and publishing clearance feature of the ‘Add to Music Library’ menu for the relevant release can be used by master recording owners or right holders to request the respective publishing rightsholder(s) of the composition embodied therein to license their publishing rights in order to allow us to provide fully cleared sync licenses to it via the Music Library.
Once all publishing rights holders have licensed their publishing rights into the track and approved the terms under which the track is being made available, the track is made available for sync licensing in the Music Library. Please note that a track will not go live in the Music Library until all the required publishing clearances have been approved and licensed by their respective rights holders.
