I'm about to copyright some songs and I'm not sure which forms I should use. I've always used form SR for when I had full production studio recordings. But some of what I want to copyright will be stripped down production wise. So I'm only concerned with lyrics and composition.

PA is fine fine for just music/lyrics...

...SR is for performance...and music/lyrics.

So...you can use SR for any/all...but no need if you are only doing music/lyrics, in which case PA will do.

Thanks for your reply. I might as well stick to the Form SR then.

Somewhere I read you could use the form CA as an add on to you're SR form. Does anyone know about this? What benefit does it give you?

If I'm not mistaken, you can copyright a bunch of songs and call them the 'Jimbroni songbook.' Then you can file form CA and list each song individually. So you can get 12 songs say for the price of two listed.
