Previous rules were ambiguous and Claude was sometimes picking:
- Just the chorus (no build-up)
- Second chorus instance (lower energy than first)
- Random verse + later chorus combinations
New explicit priority order:
1. PRIMARY: pre-chorus verse (build-up) + first chorus (~20-35s total)
2. FALLBACK: just first chorus alone
3. LAST RESORT: dramatic peak section
Strict rules:
- ALWAYS first chorus (highest energy/recognition)
- NEVER second/third chorus instances
- NEVER skip between verses
- NEVER extend over 35 seconds
- Concrete example given: chorus@32s,16s long → pick 20-48s
This fixes Veseli Dolenjci picking second chorus + post-chorus verse
instead of natural pre-chorus build-up + first chorus.
