Music & AudioLyric editing

Rewrite clunky lyrics for singability

Use to fix lines that look fine on paper but trip up the voice when sung.

The prompt
prompt.txt
Act as a lyric editor focused on singability.

My draft lines (my own original work): {{draft_lines}}
Genre and vocal style: {{style}}
What is bothering me: {{issue}}

Diagnose and rewrite:
1. Point out exactly where the phrasing fights the voice (hard consonant clusters, awkward stresses, too many syllables for the phrase, vowels that close on a held note).
2. Offer 2 to 3 rewritten versions of each problem line that keep my meaning but sing better.
3. Show the stress pattern so I can see the improvement.
4. Note which vowels are better for sustained notes.

Preserve my intent and voice. Do not introduce cliches. Keep it my original work, just smoother.
