Writing guidelines
We need your effort and dedication to style all the lyrics properly
to keep quality in the formatting and grammar of the lyrics so
it'll be easy for other users to synchronize them in time with music.
How to transcribe
toggle
Transcribe all lyrics, even when a section is repeated
All the sung or spoken lyrics should be transcribed,
even if a line or group of lines are repeated
several times in the song lyrics, type out all of them.
The lyrics will be synced in time to the music by other users,
so don't use multipliers in order to
help them with the line by line synchronization.
