A section with no header
Every blank-line lyric section needs a song-part header. If these lines continue the previous song part, remove the blank line instead—Genius does not allow blank lines to split one part into smaller stanzas. Otherwise, choose a reviewed localized term or enter a custom header; the source text remains unchanged until confirmation.
Convention: Song parts open with bracketed headers.

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.
