CWR error: Two registrations share one work number
What it means
Your own work number is how the society tells your works apart, and how it matches your later updates back to the right one. Two works in this file carry the same number, so the second will overwrite the first or be rejected.
How to fix it
Give each work a number of its own. If this is a revision of a work you already sent, send it in its own file rather than twice in one.
Find it in your file
Upload your CWR file and CWR Check points at every line where this happens, along with the rest of the format, song and writer checks. Free, and nothing you upload is stored.

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.
