Sorry Derek, but you're dead wrong on that. In many circumstances, the main composer is so paranoid or egotistical that they do not want ANYONE (other than the ghost writer of course) to know that they didn't write 100% of every note of the score. Sad, but true. Cue sheet or screen credit obviously blow that scam out of the water. So don't expect to get it.
If you're lucky enough to ghostwrite for a composer that gives you cue sheet or screen credit, consider yourself to be VERY fortunate.
