CWR, that stands for "Common Works Registration", is a protocol and a data format for batch registration of Musical Works with collecting societies, also known as CMOs. This format is also increasingly used by Music Publishers for the transmission of Catalogs.
Reprtoir is compatible with the CWR 2.1 version which is the most used. This means that the part that will ingest the transmitted CWR file must also be compatible with this version.
Whether it is to declare new Musical Works to a CMO or to transmit Musical Works to a Music Publisher, the CWR export works in the same way in Reprtoir.
