All records can also be linked to any other record using the built-in Related Information feature for ad-hoc cross-template relationships.
Add performers, conductors, publishers, agents, and collaborators. This directory powers Contact Lookups across the entire collection.
Create a record for each work in your catalog. Record key signatures, instrumentation, and attach scores and audio files.
Create records for works currently in progress. Set milestones in the Action Log and track deadlines on the calendar.
Add publishers, create commission records, and set up income tracking to monitor your financial streams.
Enter instruments and studio gear with photos, valuations, and maintenance schedules for insurance and reference.
Activate advanced templates as needed, link related records across templates, and use hashtags for custom organization through Deep Search.
This collection is a professionally designed starting point, not a locked system. Every template, field, and menu assignment is yours to customize to match how your composing practice actually operates.
Build your own templates from scratch for anything not covered — orchestration worksheets, publisher submission logs, performance rights organization filings, studio session booking sheets, or collaboration partner directories.
Fine-tune any template: change field labels, enable or disable features, update purpose text, or reassign menus. Make each template fit your specific workflow.
Delete templates you don't need, or simply toggle them to Inactive to hide them from menus and browse views without losing the design for later use.
Combine templates from multiple collections or mix collection templates with your own custom creations for a system that's uniquely yours.
This collection grows with you, whether you're composing your first works or managing a professional catalog of compositions.
You're building a composing practice or going digital for the first time. These templates show you what professional composers track and how to organize your creative work, rights, and business relationships. Get productive immediately at minimal cost with no subscription fees.
As your catalog grows and commissions increase, customize templates to match your evolving workflow. Activate advanced templates when ready. Data Fortress scales with you without pressure to upgrade or migrate.
When you use tools like Sibelius, Dorico, or SoundBetter, Data Fortress fills the gaps. Keep using templates for rights management, commission tracking, revenue documentation, and more. Create new templates to bridge your tools.
No vendor lock-in. No subscription fees. No per-composition pricing. Your work, your way, at every stage.
