Registering your musical works with UniteSync must include all relevant titles your work might be known by.
This guide outlines the typical situations where you should register alternative titles.
Different Language Versions: If your work has been translated or adapted into different languages, each version should have its title registered.
Common or Alternate Names: Works often known by more than one title should have all common variations registered to ensure proper identification.
Medleys or Arrangements: Each component title should be registered for compositions with several distinct pieces, such as medleys.
Instrumental and Vocal Versions: If there are distinct instrumental and vocal versions of a work, each may have a unique title that needs to be registered.
Abbreviated Titles: Register any widely recognized abbreviated forms of the title to cover all possible references.
Titles for Different Media Formats: If a work is released under different titles across various media platforms, include these variations in your registration.
Remixes: Remixes often have different titles from the original work. These should be registered to track and distribute royalties accurately.
Cover Versions: When a work is covered and released under a new title, this title should also be registered as an alternative.
