CWR Importer
What is the CWR Importer feature?
"CWR" (for "Common Works Registration") is a data format and protocol created by CISAC (International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers) to register musical works with CMOs.
The "CWR Importer" feature lets you import valid CWR files into your account.
Reprtoir supports CWR 2.1 file imports, including "Own" and "Collection" shares by country.

At the top right of the list, click the orange "New CWR file" button.
A pop-up window will open to enter the necessary data for the new CWR file:

Upload your CWR file from your desktop to the file upload area at the bottom of the Panel.
The CWR system is powered by an intelligent engine that checks the consistency and conformity of the data to validate or reject it before importing it into your account.
You will get a list of the Works included in the uploaded CWR file:

Click the grey "Cancel" button to cancel the action.
