Lyrics (multi-line)

To accommodate lyrics with multiple lines (i.e., multiple verses), lyric lines are encoded as structured objects. Each event's "lyrics" object has a "lines" array, with each line representing a vertical column within that syllable. Each line is identified by an ID string, which is user-defined within the document. By default, lyric lines are ordered alphabetically by the ID string.
