Thanks for this. Some control points provide a "one click" action to add all these tracks to the playing queue but I couldn't find a way to do this with the LUMIN app. Do you know if this is possible?

Yes, it is possible and the rule is valid for every tag or track.
A long tap on any item (tag or track) will open a window on top of which there is a row of icons, from left to right:
- add to the beginning of the playing now playlist
- add immediately after the playing track
- add to the bottom of the playing now playlist
- delete the content of the playing now playlist, add the item/track and play it

.... another way to add multiple track to the now plying playlist, when you are viewing a list of tracks, is to select some of them, they will be highlighted,
in the right bottom end of the app an icons row will show up: the first four are the same I've described in the previous post, then there is the "select all" icon and the "deselect all" icon

.... but you need to configure the app settings as follow:
Settings/Operation/Tap on Song List - Double Tap/Play Later

I could find an interesting workaround:
1) in indexTags I defined the tag "Works (Album)"
2) in tagValue I set the property "Works (Album).default = {Album}"
This allows:
a) to browse, for example, by Composer,
b) selecting "Work (Album)" you will have the list of albums,
c) selecting an album you will have the list of tags available within that album including "Work",
d) selecting the "Work" tag you can see all the "Work" of that same album,
e) selecting a “Work” all the tracks of that “Work” will be displayed even if they are not in sequence
The only small flaw of this configuration is that if there is only one "Work" in the album in point c) the list of tracks will follow

I am not sure why you have created a new tag Works (Album) whose value is identical to Album. Why not just put Album in indexTags?

To solve the small flaw, you could do the following:

1) in indexTags, define the tag "Album"
a) browse, for example, by Composer,
b) select the "Work" tag and choose the Work you want,
c) select "Album" and choose the Album you want,
d) all the tracks of that “Work” and "Album" will be displayed even if they are not in sequence

or alternatively:

a) browse, for example, by Composer,
b) select the "Work" tag and choose the Work you want,
c) select "n albums" and choose the album you want,
d) all the tracks of that “Work” and album will be displayed even if they are not in sequence

for some reason (I really don’t know why .... ) I thought album was a reserved (not usable) tag .... anyway it works the same, thanks
