I suggest you try the following on a test album:

1) Change the Title tags on the individual movements to be the name of the movement

2) Set the tagFormat property to just 'Album.displayFormat\={$group$album}'

Does this produce your preferred display format?

Do you need the Movement tags for some other purpose?

Perhaps people have not realised yet how great this feature is..

1) I can do this but I need to be able to see the group both when browsing the group's contents and in the Now Playing screen.

2) This does not work nicely. The problem is that some albums contain many short works and doing this would result in huge album names. For the album name I generally give it the name that is on the cover (which is basically a summary of what's in it).


When tagging my music I decided to add various pieces of information in a set of basic tags (e.g. orchestra, conductor, movement, group) and then run a script to populate tags that are visible in the control points (such as artist and title) using the basic tags. For example the title is currently populated with "$group: $movement". So the only reason for the movement tag is to allow me to re-tag the title easily without losing any information.
