Very good. Thanks so much for all the responses here! I have a friend who is a music business attorney and I think it's best for me to get a personal consult. Everyone's situation is different.

On a separate note...

I have always recorded my music playing all the parts myself, looking forward to getting the tune tracked by better players. I suppose that's why so many songwriters are using BIAB, so that they can shop a polished demo to publishers?
