Last year we made some sizable changes to our verification and distribution process. The result was an empowered mission system that helped us ensure the highest level of quality on our distributed tracks. These changes were necessary and, for the most part, highly positive ones, but some Community members reported difficulties correcting Curator-locked songs in a way that didn’t simultaneously wipe existing distributions.
Last month, we opened a path for these cases and this month we’re delighted to walk you all down it!
What you’ll need to have
The process is open exclusively to users who hold a Curator status. Why? Curators are users who have passed both the Academy and the Curator test, which helps us ensure a certain level of quality within their correction suggestions. Naturally, if we’re going to unlock lyrics to make edits, we need to make sure those lyrics are correctly transcribed and formatted!
If you’re interested in correcting locked lyrics but don’t yet have the Curator status, check out this article to find out how to get one. If you do have one, you can make your Lyrics Corrections requests via the following form.
What you’ll need to provide
The information you provide will then decide what happens next! If your request is accepted, it’ll either be pushed to a Specialist for their attention, or to the Lyrics Correction mission for yours. In any case, the result will be a set of freshly fixed and distributed lyrics you can be proud of!
If you have any questions about the process, you can reach out for answers in the Curator Slack Workspace.
