tagFormat query

In tagFormat I have Artist.displayFormat={$orchestra$conductor$artist^^^ | }

Now in many cases I have the Artist set the same as the Orchestra so I end up with (for example) "BBC Symphony Orchestra | Andrew Davis | BBC Symphony Orchestra"

Reading the User Guide it says...
"For each format item, MinimServer looks for all the tags in the tag list and combines the tag values into a single string with any duplicates removed. The tag values are separated by the separator, and the string of tag values is preceded by the prefix and followed by the suffix. If the string of tag values is empty, the prefix and suffix aren't used."

Am I understanding it wrongly when I think it should discard the second BBC Symphony Orchestra (which would be the artist tag) - I was hoping I would get "BBC Symphony Orchestra | Andrew Davis"?

Thanks for letting me know about this. The duplicate elimination algorithm isn't working correctly if one of the duplicate values has a tagOptions setting such as Artist.ignore.sort={The} or the value has been customised in some other way. I will fix this in the next update.
