Brackets with no song part in them

Warning section.header-empty No automatic fix

The brackets are here, but the song part they open is not named, so this line marks nothing. Choose a reviewed header for the language you are transcribing in — LyricLint writes the name between the brackets you already typed and leaves the rest of the line, a performer legend included, exactly as it is.

Convention: Song parts open with bracketed headers.

Example

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.
