I am writing a book that I plan to self publish. In the book, music plays a minor role as characters refer to various songs. How do I have to acknowledge song lyurics and titles in my writing?
Thanks!

The best example I can point to is Clive Cussler's "Sahara" in the copyright section or the acknowledgments section at the beginning of the novel, he listed the composers and song titles of lyrics the characters sing. Follow his example and you should be alright. Worse comes to worse, hire a lawyer specializing in copyright law to go over everything before you publish.
Public domain music is not much of a problem, but make damn sure it is public domain first.
