[Lesson 1] The writing guidelines: how to transcribe the lyrics

Type the correct words as you hear them in your favourite songs

1. Listen to the song from a reliable audio source

1. Only add lyrics you have transcribed yourself

1. Transcribe all repeated parts in a song

1. Transcribe the lyrical audio content only

Do's and Don't

• Do - Always listen to the entire song while transcribing

• Don’t - Copy and paste from other sources

• Don’t - Use multipliers (e.g. avoid x2)

If you have doubts with lyrics, you can always ask in the Musixmatch Community Slack channel
