A parenthesis left open in a lyric
Parentheses wrap a vocal sitting behind the lead, so every opening mark needs its closing half on the same line. Detecting the imbalance is a product-safety check derived from that convention, not an explicit Genius catalog of every malformed case — and where the mark should close is a judgment about the vocal, so no automatic repair is offered.
Convention: Transcribe every ad-lib.
Example

Hold me close (Yeah)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.

This check detects the pattern shown above. An accepted example passes this check; it is not a review of the whole transcription.
