Some time ago I contributed correction for Never Again a Tomorrow (2017) Soundtracks. Both updating the existing few entries and completing the list.
See: https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/190313-182454-803000
Looking back, only first item was accepted and the others rejected as "Badly Formatted", but I can't tell really why. I remember that I made considerable effort to understand the formatting instructions but I wanted to follow "exactly as its shown in the movie" most.
The first item shows that using colon instead of "by" is accepted. None of the examples separate Music from Lyrics. How can this information be kept as in movie credit if "written by"format is mandatory?
The "Rør ved meg" entry refers to the source artist and translation rather than "written by" format. Would it work or is that too far from the rigid format? The "Om lidt" item has an IMDB id by one of the companies. I knew that's not working so I don't remember if I did that following an example I found or not, but it can be removed if that's the problem.
I notice that the report page removes all line breaks, so I don't remember what I did, assuming I had line breaks after each "fact". Also seeing "SOUNDTRACKADDITION" for each of the entries may be a hint. Is there a conflict with the items already listed, they were supposed to be replaced rather than kept as is.
So, if anyone can advice how to get these entries passed and if there's a possibility to clarify the help page with more varied examples or some other advice for the future contributions.

Thanks Ed! Your comment helped me find the "resend" edit page, where line breaks are preserved. I don't have the movie at hand (I did this effort months ago) but looking at the line breaks I think I tried to follow on screen format closely. I can see how item 3 may not follow the format. And is there a way to keep the year with out the comma, if that's the problem in #2?
Here's a link (for my convenience) and screen shot where everything is green.

Everything is marked in green, but the entries are not in the movie page. In "track contribution" it shows that 3 were rejected.
Here are the text entries if anyone wants to use them for formatting suggestions:
