More than one blank line between parts

Suggestion section.extra-blank-lines Automatic fix

The reviewed Genius guidance places headers above distinct song parts and does not say how many empty lines go between them. LyricLint keeps the separation to a single blank line so the gaps down a transcription stay even.

Convention: One blank line between song parts.
