I would like to display Composer and Lyricist

a) title [composer (lyricist)] what is the correct format >> Title.displayFormat={$title^$composer$lyricist^......

b) in the comment field [composer (lyricist)]
Comment.displayFormat=.....

c) some other ways? Composer and Lyricist as Artist is not wanted, because of 3dot functionality.

thanks

Best I can do is as follows

Code:

Title.displayFormat={$Title^$Composer^ [^$Lyricist^ (^)]}

nb - Composer and Lyricist need to be an indexTag or an itemTag

However, the display is incorrect if either Composer or Lyricist is missing.
eg.
Title [Composer
Title (Lyricist)]

There is a method using the tagUpdate feature that sets a tag name to a default value, i.e. such as DEFAULT_TAG=Unknown
This default tag can then be used to populate Composer and/or Lyricist with its' value.
The display would then look like
eg.
Title [Composer (Unknown)]
Title [Unknown (Lyricist)]
