Repeated parts that are not linked

Suggestion section.unlinked-repeat No automatic fix

This song part appears 2 times, and every copy already matches or is still empty. Linked, editing one edits them all, so a correction can never land in just one copy.

Convention: Type repeated lyrics out in full.

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.
