Using /api/get requires all parameters to be very exact for it to find any results but songs aren't always tagged 100% the same as they are stored on lrclib, I myself go through the effort of tagging my music as best I can but Navidrome sets the tag of albumless songs to [Unknow Album] for example, which will never find a match on lrclib. It's better to use /api/search with only the q param to search for lyrics more loosely only using the song name + artist name and then filtering those results out based on album or duration.
