Styled vocals with no legend

Suggestion performer.header-required Automatic fix

This section differentiates inline voices, but its header does not yet say who they are. The formatting is worth keeping until the voices are known — it tells the next transcriber a distinct voice sings here. Add a performer legend when the voices are identified, or remove the formatting only if the section no longer needs differentiation.

Convention: Name artists in headers when voices differ.

Example

Flagged by this rule
[Verse]
<i>Second voice</i>

In the workbench this reads: Styled vocals are not yet named in a performer legend.

Accepted by this rule
[Verse: A & <i>B</i>]
<i>Second voice</i>
