The Toras Moshe Chasam Sofer Al Hatorah was compiled by Harav R. Shimon
Sofer zt”l son of the Ksav Sofer. He writes he used the notes of R Yehuda
Frankfuter and the Maharam Shick zt”l*  and also added Toirehs from a Sefer in a
Ksav Yad named שיר מעון that has no Mechabers name

Eventually it was discovered the Mechaber of the Sefer שיר מעון is non other but
R. Shimon Sofer himself.

There are more than 200 Shtiklach Torah from the שיר מעון printed in the
Chasam Sofer. Some of them are clearly marked at the end מספר שיר מעון    
most are marked simply מש"מ

Many who learn the Chasam Sofer Al Hatorah are not aware
that some entries of Divrei Torah are not from the Chasam Sofer but from
his grand son.

An Einikel from R. Shimon Sofer, R. Moshe Yosef Paskesz,  reprinted the Chasam
Sofer 21 times. In the 21st edition , R. M.Y.P. explains why his Zaidah
 published his own Torah together with the Chasam Sofer.

He says  “ His Zaidah (R.S. Sofer) wrote the Sefer שיר מעון and because of his Anivus
didn’t publicize himself as the Mechaber. He was struggling with
himself if it is the right thing to do  to combine his own Toireh together with the
Chasam Sofers.

One day they noticed that he was fasting. When asked, he told them he had a
vision of the Chasam Sofer revealing himself and gave him permission
to combine his Toireh with the ChasamSofer’s Toireh. Hence he printed them
together.
