Title, Movement display format

For example:

For multimovement composition I need to display just the name of movement, but for a title I need to display title, tonality, opus. (all of them I have as tags in my files)

1. I. Allegretto (it is Movement tag in my files)

2. Mazurka No.11, C major, Op.52 (Mazurka No.11 is title tag in my files)

Is it possible? Any idea?

Thanks for help.

Hi and welcome.

Assuming track 1 has a tag name of 'Movement' with a value of 'I. Allegretto'
Assuming track 2 has a Title tag with value of 'Mazurka No.11, C major, Op.52' and does not have the 'Movement' tag name the following should work:-

tagFormat should include Title.displayFormat={$Movement}
itemTags should include Movement

The above will replace the Title tag value with the Movement tag value ONLY if a Movement tag name exists. Otherwise the Title tag value is displayed.

A trick you can apply to remove that 'annoying' track number preceding the movement number, is to add the following:-

tagValue should include TrackNumber.replace={Movement}

Despite what it appears to suggest, the track number is not replaced by the Movement tag value but is simply NOT displayed. Importantly, it only does this if a Movement tag exists.

NB - the above has been tested on the Kinsky control app. Not all control apps behave in the same way
