For the record, yes, this library wishes to take care of the Ascap process....And wants several versions of the song, Drums Only, Bass Only, Keys,Only, etc....which I am now getting ready to do.

The bottom line is, numbering schemes aside, you should get 100% of the writer's share (50% of the total in ASCAP-ese). Usually a publisher will want the entire publishing side (100% BMI 50% ASCAP). But deals can vary widely.

I never register my music with ASCAP unless I'm going to self publish. I let the publishers do the registering.
geez mazz, you are a TOTAL PRO
