French term or phrase: fixé
In an exploitation licence, "artistes-interprètes" are defined as "Les artistes ou groupes d'artistes dont les productions sont fixées sur les Œuvres du Catalogue". My problem is with the term "fixé". Any suggestions as to how to translate it into English?

p.s.
the only thing I don't understand is how a production can be "fixed" onto "oeuvres/works"...

onto a medium maybe

hence my knee-jerk reaction of "focused":)

Well, thank you for following that up. I had explored other avenues such as the Berne Convention without finding the term "fixed". An "oeuvre" or "work" includes the medium on which it is recorded which explains why the performer's productions can be fixe

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Aude Sylvain: agree with your translation(s) and p.s.! I think "form part of..." or "are recorded/registered as ..." may make more sense here (French "font partie des Oeuvres...", "comptent au nombre des Oeuvres...") but I may be wrong!
