Sections
A section is declared by a name in square brackets, optionally followed by a key: annotation:
[Verse]
[Chorus] key: Ab major
[Bridge] key: F# dorian
If a key: is given, it applies to that section only, overriding the global key. If no key is given, the section inherits the global key from the front matter.
Section names can be anything: [A], [Verse], [Chorus], [Intro], [Bridge], [Verse/Chorus], etc.
