Other variations are possible. You could leave the Soloist tag unaliased and use the Soloist.displayRoles={artist} setting to send it to the control point as the XML tag

<artist role="Soloist">My Soloist</artist>

You can combine this with Soloist.multiTag to send multiple soloist values as separate XML tags.

Back on trying to get multiple artist strings passed as XML tags. I tried the method you describe above, Aliasing Soloist as artist and then setting the MultiTag property for Artist. However, it only picks up one soloist (the first one).

I tought it might be related to the fact that the "Composer.displayRoles={artist}" was still set (therefore a duplicate assignment of artist to yet another field??) and took that off. However when restarting Minim, I found that Minim just parses that string back in...

The other limitation of the above method is, that I can no longer use the tagFormat property to set the display format for Artist to "soloist, orchestra, conductor"... etc... I then tried around with the "index.format" property but that only throw error messages at me.. I thought that was the differentiation that you could set a display value for a given tag and one for indexing purposes ?? I could'nt get that to work so I need to scratch my head a bit more how to best achieve this
