An interesting idea. I've been writing subtitles for a TV show recently and I'm going to check to see if I follow your rule.

But more often than not, I just stick with the default number of letters for easy reading.

Thank you for being a captioner! Idk how ppl pick descriptive words for music in cool ways like I've seen, but I think it's great

Then there's me who, on the rare occasion I actually acknowledge the music in subtitles, I just write 𝅘𝅥𝅮 𝅘𝅥𝅮 𝅘𝅥𝅮

Haahaha, I prefer that sometimes bc I'm not spending time trying to read the description and missing out on the visuals. The "jauntily morbid" on Wednesday made me laugh tho bc it's so conflicting, yet 100% accurate 😂
