1) Changing name of releasegroup of compilation series manually

Cant do in script, but simple edit. Because Picard doesnt support editing I think that some things are scripted when it would actually be easier to edit.
Edit:Set Value to set the of selected fields to one value

Quote:3) Remove compilation tag
$set(compilation,0)

Right click on compilation column header and select Empty Column

Quote:4) Set album date to first released date
$set(date,$if2(%originaldate%,%date%))

Option Preferences:MusicBrainz:Format:Put Original Year Into Year

Quote:5) Add release comment to album title
$set(album,%album%$if(%_releasecomment%, \(%_releasecomment%\)))

Use Edit:Append to left for selected pairing of cells

Quote:I wouldn't mind doing this. Picard for the original scan. Jaikoz to add artists and albumartists as well as update the files. But this would require to "lock" a few fields. Would this be doable? And there would be issues with the albumartists for cases when I have used scripting to change the albumartist.

You can set fields to never modify in Preferences:MusicBrainz:Format:Never Modify these fields. Fields that Jaikoz doesnt see such as albumartists (rather than album_artists) are not seen by Jaikoz and therefore left alone when editing with Jaikoz. (Although you can sort of see them by enabling the View/Show ID3 tabs)
