artist display format
I’ve been struggling to set my artist display to show artists, composers, soloists, orchestra and conductor with each group separated by a semi-colon, and individual entries within the group separated by commas. The wrinkle is I’d also like to show a label for composer, soloists, & conductor. The display would look like this:

artist1, artist2; composer1, composer2, composer3 (composer); soloist1, soloist2 (soloist); orchestra; conductor (conductor)

Alternatively I’d be happy with slashes and commas as in:
artist1/artist2, composer1/composer2/composer3 (composer), soloist…etc.

The best I’ve come up with so far is the following:
Artist.displayFormat={$artist^^; ^, $composer^^ (composer); ^, $soloists^^ (soloist); ^, $orchestra$conductor^^ (conductor)^; }

This works fairly well except that specifying the semi-colon in the suffix leaves it showing whether there is anything following or not. So if there’s only an artist, it shows “artist; “. I’ve tried leaving the semi-colon out of the suffix and using slashes as separator, thinking that the default comma would separate the groups, but then I just get the groups running into each other: artist1/artist2composer1/composer2.

Is this possible, and if so, what am I missing?

Thanks as always for a great product.
