More voices than there are style slots

The source discusses omitting names when too many vocalists prevent concise formatting and gives a more-than-four example for multiple vocal samples; it does not state a universal five-performer ban. Preserve the import while considering a merged group, another section, or explicitly removing differentiation.

Convention: Annotate a header too crowded to format.

Example

[Verse: A, <i>B</i>, <b>C</b>, <i><b>D</b></i> & E]
Line

In the workbench this reads: This section has more voice groups than the four formatting slots.

[Verse: A, <i>B</i>, <b>C</b> & <i><b>D</b></i>]
Line

The fix

This finding has no automatic fix — resolving it is a judgment call, so the workbench points at the exact range and leaves the edit to you.

The convention and its limits
