More than one space between words

Suggestion text.multiple-spaces Automatic fix

Consecutive ordinary spaces between words are mechanically detectable formatting residue. Genius does not state an exact one-space rule, so LyricLint treats this as a text-hygiene suggestion.

Convention: No doubled spaces or hidden characters.

Example

Flagged by this rule
[Verse]
Two  words

In the workbench this reads: Use one space between these words.

Accepted by this rule
[Verse]
Two words

The fix
