Church Lyric License FAQs

What is the Church Lyric License (CLL)?

The Church Lyric License is a lyric copyright license offered globally, that covers both the online and in-person (digital and print) reproduction of lyrics. It is an auto-reporting license that leverages MultiTracks.com setlist history to auto-report lyric use to publishers.


Why is MultiTracks.com offering the Church Lyric License (CLL)?

MultiTracks.com is separating the lyric licensing product out of the full Church Streaming License (CSL) bundle of licenses, due to the value and demand for the lyric only license. The Church Streaming License will remain a bundle of licenses which includes both everything in the CLL, and additional streaming licenses to cover the artist-original MultiTracks.com track products in live-streamed worship services.


Does auto-reporting still work with the Church Lyric License?

Yes, the Church Lyric License has the full auto-reporting capabilities, relying on the MultiTracks.com setlist usage, which can be integrated and automated with tools like ChartBuilder, Playback, Planning Center Services, and more!


What's the difference between CSL and CLL?

  • The Church Lyric License (CLL) is a single lyric license separated out from the Church Streaming License. The license covers both the online and in-person (digital and print) reproduction of lyrics. CLL is available internationally to organizations across the globe.

  • The Church Streaming license (CSL) is a bundle of licenses, all in one. It includes both the lyric licenses (everything included in CLL) and includes the Streaming Licenses for streaming MultiTracks.com artist-original track products in live streamed services. CSL is only offered to organizations in the U.S. and Canada. (Expanding to more countries and territories soon).
