Warning performer.too-many-groups No automatic fix

The source discusses omitting names when too many vocalists prevent concise formatting and gives a more-than-four example for multiple vocal samples; it does not state a universal five-performer ban. Preserve the import while considering a merged group, another section, or explicitly removing differentiation.
