A performer named on the lyric line

Warning performer.line-label-forbidden Previewed fix

Performer identities belong in the section-header legend and are correlated through the four style slots. Removing the label drops the attribution from the lyric, so name the performer in the section header and style the line to keep it.

Convention: Annotate a header too crowded to format.

Example

Flagged by this rule
[Verse: Avery]
[Avery] A line

In the workbench this reads: Do not label individual lyric lines with bracketed performer names.

Accepted by this rule
[Verse: Avery]
A line

The fix

In the workbench this finding carries one control, labelled Remove the line label. The change is contextual, so it is previewed as a diff in your document first and applies only when you confirm it.
