Behavior of Artist tag
I added some usertags to my classical music collection this weekend, intending to take advantage of MinimServer's flexible browsing approach. However, instead of making things easier to find, they're now more difficult to find Confused

In the old situation I only used the Artist tag. It holds the main performer, e.g. "Janine Jansen".

In the new situation I didn't change the Artist tag, but I added "Orchestra" and "Conductor" tags.

So, a work (Album/Composition) that was previously tagged as

Artist: Janine Jansen
Album: Violin concerto Op.64
Composition: Violin concerto Op.64
Composer: Mendelssohn

now received additional tags:

Orchestra: Gewandhausorchester
Conductor: Riccardo Chailly

For some reason when browsing the Artists, Janine Jansen is nowhere to be found. I do have an entry "Riccardo Chailly, Janine Jansen, Gewandhausorchester" Huh

This means that if I decide to listen to something played by Janine Jansen, I have to search through the entire Artists list to find her.

Why do Orchestras and Conductors get mixed into the Artist field when browsing? And which takes precedence?

Or rather, is there a setting that I've missed to avoid this from happening?
Or should I add another usertag "Performer" & copy what I now have in "Artist" into "Performer", and ignore the "Artist" tag when browsing?

Cheers,
JW
