How do publisher and library pages show the composition side and the recording side of a licence when they quote a price (shares, pro rata, most-favoured-nation, combined ownership)?

A New York classical-music publisher's quote form asks for a quote on 100% of the non-exclusive synchronisation use, says it collects only its own percentage share (pro rata), and says all fees are MFN with co-publishers and the master holder. A library vendor (FirstCom, 2014) advises choosing libraries that hold composition and master together; a library FAQ (Atomica) says a licence is permission to synchronise, not ownership. Taken together, the pages describe quotes as per-holder shares that may be tied to other holders' fees, versus single-source library licences. This is vendor process description in two jurisdictions' trade, not a legal rule; the definition of sync versus master is in C3-B102-G37-01.
