Example: what the writer check shows
This is what CWR Check shows about the writers in a CWR file once the check finishes. The writers and numbers below are fictional, for illustration; the layout and wording are the real ones.

1 · The summary
At the top of the Writers section: how many writers need a look, the figures that matter, and who they are, in plain words.
Writer check by Songlinks
Your writers: 2 of 4 need a look
1 writer has 12 works registered under a spelling or IPI other than their main one. Royalties follow the registration a work is filed under, so those works may not be paid where the writer expects.
Writers to look at
- ALEX RIVERA9876500011112 works registered elsewhereDetails
- SAM OKAFOR98765000307registered as SAMUEL OKAFORDetails
2 · One writer, in the side panel
Clicking a writer opens their side panel beside the report: what differs, where their registered works sit, every registered spelling, and the IPI in the file against their main one.
3 · What you do next
Have Kane Tech Group, the team behind CWR Check, correct the registrations as a managed service; see where the works are registered on Songlinks; or save your writers to a free catalogue.

Questions
Is this real data?
No. The writers and numbers on this page are fictional. The sample file runs the real check on real writers' IPI name numbers, with live answers from Songlinks.
What is sent when I check my own file?
Only the writers' IPI name numbers go to Songlinks, never song titles, names or shares. Files are checked in memory and not 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.
