All pages agree a cue sheet lists every piece of music in a programme with title, duration, how it was used, and the composers/publishers and shares, so a society can match performances to works. They differ in what they emphasise: ASCAP lists a minimum field set and says underscore may be rolled up into project-titled registrations; SOCAN (2023 FAQ) promotes an internationally standardised template and drops the CAVCO field; MCPS asks for a short production-music row with origin code 'L'; CBC adds source and musician-union clearance notes. This candidate does not reproduce the CISAC schema (C2-B12-C2-07).
