All Answers To Questions

Answer 1

Just put it in the system as a lyrical complilation or something... I don't know how BMI works, but here in Australia, we have APRA. I've recently done the same thing with a song that I made and a friend wrote lyrics to it, but I only copyrighted my music and now the lyrics that she wrote... Anyway, just register it as a lyrical creation. Sorry if this doesn't help much

Answer 2

I don't know why you wouldn't credit the person who wrote the melody as a co-writer, unless the melody was already a copyrighted item.
