Two or more unpublished songs, song lyrics, or other musical works may be registered with one application and fee, but only under certain conditions stated in the Copyright Office regulations. One of those conditions is that the copyright owner or owners must be the same for all the songs.

Basically you can copyright an entire album under a collection title and pay only one registration fee; you simply need to fill out a continuation sheet to list all the songs in the collections.
By meaning collections, can it not be separated at that point?

Basically, I don't have the entire songs finished, just typed lyrics. If I send them all as a collection, will I be able to sell them at some point in the future? Individually?
