CWR acknowledgement: The society accepted this song, but changed it
What it means
The registration went through, but the society did not record it exactly as you sent it — they altered something, such as a share, a name, or an identifier. What you hold and what they hold now differ.
How to fix it
Compare their version with your own and decide which is right. If yours is, send a corrected registration; if theirs is, update your own records to match.
Find it in your file

Two free checks for your CWR file. Is the file correct? Every record, share and control total against the spec, each problem on its exact line. Do its writers match their registrations? Every writer cross-checked against public registration data, including works registered under another spelling or IPI. Nothing stored: check a file at cwrcheck.com.
