It was to my understanding that those who got cowriting credit throughout her solo career actually contributed to the lyrics in some way..IE : I know I read somewhere that Sandy Stewart gave a line or two to "If Anyone Falls" and it is credited as Written By : S. Nicks and S. Stewart
And "If I were You" didnt she somewhere say Rick Nowels wrote some certain line and it is credit as Written By: S. Nicks, R. Nowels
Sandy Stewart wrote "Seven Wonders" but Stevie contributed a line or two and is also credited..
I always thought that if the person contributed to the LYRICS then they received the songwriting credit..
Also to mention--it seems on her albums now she will have Words and Music by : Stevie Nicks
or in the case of "I Miss You" it is credited as Words by : Stevie Nicks
Music by : Rick Nowels
I think that is a more appropriate way to credit a song myself
