New way to transcribe song lyrics?

[Lulu]

Hi! My transcribers just brought to my attention that the new CHAT manual 
changed the way how song lyrics should be transcribed from the previous 
manual. Specifically, instead of marking a whole utterance as a verse in a 
song with a symbol at the beginning and the end of the verse respectively, 
now the transcriber would need to add a symbol AFTER EACH WORD. The new way 
seems very labor-intensive. Is that right? Why the change? If it has to be 
done that way, is there any method to make it easier for the transcriber?

Any insights or tips would be appreciated. Thanks!
