No blank line above a header

The reviewed Genius guidance places headers above distinct song parts but does not explicitly require a blank line. LyricLint suggests one here to make section changes easier to scan.

Convention: One blank line between song parts.

Example

[Verse]
First
[Chorus]
Second

In the workbench this reads: Add a blank line before this section header.

[Verse]
First

[Chorus]
Second

The fix

In the workbench this finding carries one control, labelled Add blank line. The fix is classified as safe, so pressing it applies the edit directly — one press, one undo step.
