Description

Notes often contain section "dividers" of a single text character, such as:
"============================================"
When the Constituency Parser hits these [sentences], it can churn for 30 seconds (in my runs). For 60 notes containing two of these lines, that is a solid hour of useless processing.

There shouldn't be any downstream dependencies on such lines, so they shouldn't be parsed.
