[Fmpro] BMI 200%, ASCAP 100% RapidCue

[LB440@aol.com]

Mark,

I've been using RapidCue for the last several months, but I've never 
considered myself elite, just busy. I'm a BMI writer and they were very willing and 
helpful in getting me up and running in RapidCue. It's a major step forward over 
filling paper cue sheets, especially if your writing weekly shows with 
recurring cues. Rapid cue calls the writer/publisher splits as a total 200% with 
each side splitting 100% as it's always been. As I went through this drill with 
an ASCAP collaborator who asked me these same questions, the answer, ASCAP's 
100% split applies only when registering songs with them, not cue sheets. I have 
no idea when Rapid Cue will be available to everyone but most probably after 
they work out some very minor bugs as it is in beta at this moment with 
ongoing user meetings on how to improve the system. I hope this info helps the 
group.

Best
