Reviewer argues cover songs should extract real phoneme timing instead of predicting it

A reviewer’s key point is that for cover-song reference audio, the real phoneme timing is already there. Instead of predicting phoneme timing like SVS or guessing it like older CSG methods, the model should extract it directly, which makes lyric control much more reliable.

This is essentially the methodological intuition behind the thread: explicit phoneme timing matters more than trying to infer it indirectly from weaker conditioning signals.
