Group shown when only one item..

I'm using the Group tag which in most cases I have a MP3Tag script set to equal to the Composition tag. It generally works well in my browsing but there are a couple of quirks.

First off, where there is an album with only a single group, I would expect that the Group selection isn't shown: that is (as an example) where I browse
Tchaikovsky -- n Albums -- Swan Lake
the next level shown is a single selection "Swan Lake, Op.20" where as logically I would expect from there to show a list of tracks.

The second situation is the opposite really, where there is a number of Group tags in an album, but some of the groups only have a single entry: that is
Tchaikovsky"-- n Albums -- 1812 and other compositions
the next level shows amongst other things "1812 Overture, Op.49" even though there is only a single track and it would make more sense just to see the tracks.

Group is different from most tags because it creates an extra level of containment structure. To see the tracks inside a group, you need to open the group manually. The expectation is that you will almost always want to play the group as a whole (i.e., treat it as a single item) rather than selecting individual tracks from within the group. For music where this isn't the case, it would probably be more convenient not to tag it as part of a Group.
