[Fmpro] what is the full process on completion of a work ofmusic?

[Chris Alpiar]

well after yesterday learing about i need to proactively file with ascap (I
thought it was submitted when the cue sheets were entered), I dont feel I
know much for certain. Please keep the jokes out of this. I am trying to get
6 years of work straight here, and I want to be absolutely crystal clear on
what is expected of me when I finish a work

Thanks
