A placeholder instead of the repeat

Repeated sections should contain the transcribed lyrics. The placeholder is preserved because expanding it requires the editor to choose the correct source section.

Convention: Type repeated lyrics out in full.

Example

[Chorus x2]
Words

In the workbench this reads: Write repeated lyrics instead of a section-count placeholder.

[Chorus]
Words again

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

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