I'm running se lint and I'm getting a whole slew of related errors. To explain, the book I'm working on has a whole bunch of snatches of song. Here's a typical example...

<blockquote epub:type="z3998:song">
<p>
<span>“ ‘It is perfectly true you can beat a tattoo,</span>
<br/>
<span>But you can’t beat the tattooed man⁠—’ ”</span>
</p>
</blockquote>

I believe I've formatted that correctly, according to 7.5.5 in the Manual of Style, but I get lint errors like this...
────────┼───────┼───────────┼─────────────────────────────┤
│ c-006 │ Error │ local.css │ Semantic found, but missing │
│       │       │           │ corresponding CSS style.    │
├───────┼───────┼───────────┼─────────────────────────────┤
│       │       │ Line 12   │ <blockquote                 │
│       │       │           │ epub:type="z3998:song">     │
├───────┼───────┼───────────┼─────────────────────────────┤


Any idea what the problem is?

It’s best that you keep questions about a production in the production’s thread so that the person managing can keep track easily.

To answer the question, as it says you’re missing the corresponding CSS. You can find that in https://standardebooks.org/manual/1.8.7/single-page#7.5, but as you’re styling a song you’ll need to change the poem selectors to song instead.
