Sandbox page for developing a Manual of Style for transcripts.

Songs
The current MOS says the following in the Song Lyrics section for song lyrics on their own pages:
 * Lyrics are in plain text, spoken dialogue in italics, sound descriptions or other notes inside parentheses in italics.

Modification:
 * 1) Wrap each line of the lyrics in the    template to clearly indicate they are sung.
 * 2) Spoken dialogue reverts to plain text.
 * 3) Descriptions stay as they are

The reason for changing spoken dialogue to plain text is that it will have a consistent appearance with other spoken dialogue in a transcript. Once the separate page for the song is done, we can transclude the lyrics section (have it automatically inserted for us) into the transcript page with the following command:
 *  

In this example, the page to link to is "No Momo" and the section to transclude is "Lyrics". Note that if Lyrics was actually a link, we would have to use that as well. Example from on the song page:
 *  ==Lyrics== 

Then the transclusion command becomes:
 *  

Another modification: we can skip using the    line break at the end of each line by using a colon in front of each line to indent it.
