When talking about intersting ideas ... got another one.

Assume I need alphaGrouping because of too many items of any kind.
And if so then assume that I use it on artists or albumartists where the ones starting with 'A' are in the range of 2000 while the ones starting with 'Q' are 2 handsfull if ever.
Result is that 'Q' gives an easy scrollable list to locate the wanted item, whereas if trying to locate one starting with 'A' is a task as if no alphagrouping was implemented.

I do miss the ability do define the number of digits for alphagrouping.
I would likely define albumartist=10:2 no grouping below 10 items but with a resulting list in the form Aa, Ab, Ac, .... instead of A, B, C, D, ....
Perhaps the 2-digit ones within the 1-digit one eg.
A\ <== more but 10 thus sub-alphagrouped
A\Aa\ <== less but 10
A\Ab\ <== less but 10
[ ... ]
B\ <== less but 10
[ ... ]
C\ <== more but 10 thus sub-alphagrouped
C\Ca\ <== less but 10
C\Cb\ <== less but 10
[ ... ]
or somehow similar
