[lojban-beginners] Poetic license in lojbanic songs?

What do you think about stretching Lojban rules in songs? The main
thing is the stress, of course it's better when it's kept, but
sometimes it's very hard and one syllable falls out... Is it better
when the stress is broken on two-syllable cmavo than brivla? I've seen
some songs with wrong stress, especially the translations of "The Song
That Never Ends", http://www.lojban.org/tiki/The+Song+That+Never+Ends
Another thing is {i}. Is it acceptable to skip it on the beginning of
a stanza? I've seen such practice in "da pu laldo ninmu co tunlo le
sfani", http://www.lojban.org/tiki/da+pu+laldo+ninmu+co+tunlo+le+sfani
I don't intend to point anyone's fault, I just want to know what is
acceptable in your opinion.
