The hard stop only works if the note stays small. After the full-track listen, write one line: “the break earns its space because…” or “it doesn’t.” Not a review, not a defense brief. For example: “the two-beat bass gap makes the chorus feel wider.” If you need three paragraphs to prove the edit belongs, the edit may already be asking for too much attention. The archive can preserve the reason; the music should carry the evidence. Would you trust the one-line note tomorrow?
