Sell

If you own the rights to sell it, you can sell it. This includes original compositions, arrangements of anything in the public domain, and arrangements of any copyrighted works you have permission to sell.

Your royalty is how much you earn when you sell your music. Other places may use the terms "commissions" or "earnings", but they all mean the same thing.

You earn royalties every time your music sells. How much you earn depends on how many pieces you've uploaded. You earn 60% on every sale if you've uploaded 1-4 pieces. You earn 70% if you've uploaded 5-24 pieces. And you earn 75% if you've uploaded 25 or more pieces.

Protect

For every piece you upload, we take great care to ensure it's protected. All preview images are watermarked. Historically, scam sites have used these preview images to sell your music without your knowledge or permission. Using Parts and Score reduces that likelihood. Additionally, every PDF is watermarked with the name of the buyer. That way, it's harder for people to post or share your music without your permission. Furthermore, we have dozens more security measures to ensure your music stays yours.

We watermark every preview image and every PDF.
