Both or All standing in for artist names

Genius staff guidance is that artist names are always written out in section headers, never combined under identifiers like “Both” or “All”. Performers singing the same lines in unison are grouped with ampersands inside one style slot, so the legend names exactly who shares them.

Convention: Group unison voices with ampersands.

Example

[Chorus: A, <i>B</i> & <b>Both</b>]
Line

In the workbench this reads: Write out the artist names instead of “Both”.

[Chorus: A, <i>B</i>, <b>A & B</b>]
Line

The fix

In the workbench this finding carries one control, labelled Replace with A & B. The change is contextual, so it is previewed as a diff in your document first and applies only when you confirm it.

The convention and its limits

This check detects the pattern shown above. An accepted example passes this check; it is not a review of the whole transcription.
