A header bracket left open

Genius guidance establishes bracketed section headers. Detecting a missing delimiter is also a product-safety rule from the parser contract, not an explicit Genius catalog of every malformed case.

Convention: Song parts open with bracketed headers.

Example

[Verse
Line

In the workbench this reads: Section header has unbalanced brackets.

[Verse]
Line

The fix

In the workbench this finding carries one control, labelled Insert the missing closing bracket. The fix is classified as safe, so pressing it applies the edit directly — one press, one undo step.

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.
