Multiple works by different composers merged

I have 2 different works that have the same name (i.e. same Group tag) and same Artist on the same album. However they are by 2 different composers.

MinimServer assumes that these 2 works are the same, presumably because they have the same Group and Artist and because they happen to be in a sequence. The 2 works appear merged into one.

MinimServer should also take the composer into account when parsing groups.

Are these two groups consecutive tracks? If so, they will be merged if they have the same name. I don't think it's practical for MinimServer to look at other tags in deciding whether or not to merge tracks into a group, because there could be situations where the tracks have different tags (e.g., artist or soloist) but should still be merged.

It's worth pointing out that Groups can be used to group tracks together for any purpose and shouldn't be thought of as equivalent to musical works, even though they are often used for this.

Your solution of modifying the Group tags is the right way to handle this situation.
