BMI has a base where you can search for composers and see what they contributed to Elfman’s scores.

Unsuprisingly, it seems he needed the most help with Avengers. Chris Bacon also seems to have played a big role in Goosebumps.
Conversely, Buckley ‘only’ contributed two tracks to Fifty Shades (one of which is very minor).

Based on the percentages, it seems Paul Mounsey does little touch-ups to Elfman’s cues; Elfman is still credited with 95%+ of the track in a lot of instances. With Bacon/Buckley it seems to be a 50/50 split. He did, however, contrinute to a lot of Mr Peabody – in fact, most of the tracks feature help from Mounsey. He only seems to have contributed a little to Epic and Oz.

Lindgren’s contributions to Alice TTLG are quite minor; none of which making the album release.

Makes you wonder how many “touch-up’s” Steve Bartek has done but didn’t get credit for cause he’s the orchestrator.

Elfman seems more than willing to credit those who help him so I don’t think that’s the case.

For example, Tyler used three ghostwriters for Avengers too; however, none were credited in the end credits or the booklet.
