To establish yourself as the one person allowed to edit, you can make a "claim" on the page by adding something like "SCRIBING - DO NOT EDIT - @Username" to the top of the page. This is generally only necessary for highly anticipated songs with multiple users vying to transcribe them.

During this time, you are forbidden from working on or claiming other pages until you are done and have removed the claim tag.Encouraged to save progress little by little, which demonstrates that you are actively working on it and ensures that less progress will be lost if the page crashes.Tips for avoiding lyric edit conflicts • Locking the page (often temporarily)
