Hi Nils! I've listed to your music, and I like it!
AFAIK, if someone uses one of your songs to make a cover or a
derivative version, it is an "Adaptation" as defined by the CC license,
they must give credit to you and the adaptation must be published also
under CC-by-sa license. Public performance of an adapted work is
permitted by the license.
This is an excerpt of the full CC-by-sa:
"Adaptation" means a work based upon the Work, or upon the Work and
other pre-existing works, such as a translation, adaptation,
derivative work, arrangement of music or other alterations of a
literary or artistic work, or phonogram or performance and includes
cinematographic adaptations or any other form in which the Work may
be recast, transformed, or adapted including in any form recognizably
derived from the original[...]
