Research direction

Start by locating the plugin or command handling Split subtitle (S) and the automatic line-rebalancing logic. Confirm how an option to preserve existing breaks should behave for speaker-tagged first lines; done means Split subtitle can disable rebalancing and retain that break.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Is there a way to disable automatic line rebalancing when using "Split subtitle" (S)? I need to preserve the existing line break because the first line contains a speaker tag.
