How to retrieve — register the composition
- Check with your own society whether the song is registered as a work, with every writer and their split.
- If it is not, register it (title, writers, splits, IPI numbers) or ask your publisher or administrator to do it.
- Ask for the ISWC once it is assigned and add it to your distributor's metadata.
- In countries where you have no sub-publisher, check the work reached the local society; if not, ask your society to send it or claim it there.
- Ask each society for back-payment of the periods they still allow you to claim.
