Mark,
Although you don't have to fill out who inputed the info on the cue sheet, to 
use RapidCue you do have to log on and sign in, this at least gives you a 
paper or should I say electronic trail to who submitted the cue sheets. It is 
designed as a multi-user system, very handy if your working with a music editor 
or multiple composers, but one person has the responsiblity of the 
administration of the account, and who has access to it and to what extent, because of 
this you should be able to track down who filled in the cue sheet. As a BMI 
writer I'm out of the ASCAP loop but BMI has been very open and helpful on getting 
me up and running in RapidCue in its Beta testing.
