Link the matching sections so one correction reaches them all.

Suggestion section.unlinked-repeat No automatic fix

This song part appears 2 times, and every copy either already matches the others or is still empty. Linking ties them together so that editing one edits the rest, and a correction can never land in only one copy. Nothing here is overwritten: linking is offered only where the copies already agree.

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.
