Hi DJW...

I think there may be a little misunderstanding here. When I spoke of
the 10%, I was only talking about SALES. As far as the collection of
royalties is concerned, the publisher collects half and I collect half
-- 50%, 50%.

I'm pretty sure this arrangement, including the 10% of sales receipts,
has been the "traditional" music publishing arrangement over the years..
but, of course, I could be wrong...

They used to say that the composer owned 100% of the royalties, and the
publisher ALSO owned 100% of the royalties, equalling 200%... but, of
course, they weren't very good at math... obviously.
