I have considered your request very carefully, trying to think of a more "normal" situation where the proposed new feature would be useful. I haven't been able to come with one, so I won't be adding this feature at the present time.

Fortunately, there is a way for you to do what you want without the new feature. You can change your tag update file to the following:

@ALBUM_CATEGORY=Klassik
+KLASSIK=1
+JAZZINTERPRET=0
+POPINTERPRET=0

@ALBUM_CATEGORY=Jazz
+JAZZ=1
+KLASSIKKOMPONIST=0
+KLASSIKINTERPRET=0
+POPINTERPRET=0

@ALBUM_CATEGORY=Pop
+POP=1
+KLASSIKKOMPONIST=0
+KLASSIKINTERPRET=0
+JAZZINTERPRET=0

Your tagValue settings should be as foolows:

Klassikkomponist.default={COMPOSER_SORT},
Klassikinterpret.default={ARTIST_SORT},
Jazzinterpret.default={ARTIST_SORT},
Popinterpret.default={ARTIST_SORT}

The only problem with this is that the menu for Jazzinterpret (etc.) will start with a 0 entry because 0 is sorted before alphabetic characters in the MinimServer collation order. To move this entry to the end of the list, you can change the 0 to any Unicode character that sorts after alphabetic characters. The Unicode character U+02CD (low macron) should be suitable.

Hi Simon
THX very much for this clue
