Group and classical music

[Tristram]

Dear all, this is a real SOS for grouping my classical music tracks. I lost my previous configuration that did exactly what i wanted. I tried to use ChatGPT and i can say it led nowhere.
In Title, i have catalogue reference RV 486, for example for a Vivaldi Track
In movement, i have 1. Allegro or 2. Andante
Tracks are consecutive and can be over multiple discs for opera for example.
When i browse my database, i would like when i click on an album to see RV 486 as a group. And when i play RV 486, get the three tracks related to this work in my playlist.
My minimserver is on a synology server. I tried to create an update.txt because i can't find the right line to create group on the web interface. But honestly i am nowhere and the documentation of the user guide is not more explicit on where and how to create groups.
Thank for your help, i gave up after 6 hours of tries

Do you have GROUP tags in your track files? If not, you will need to add these.

You mentioned movements. If your files contain MOVEMENT tags, you can set the aliasTags property to Movement:Group. This will add Group tags to your files and this should show your library as you want.

If your files don't have MOVEMENT tags or GROUP tags, did you previously add GROUP tags using a tag update file? If so, you will need to restore the tag update file from a backup or recreate it.

Perfect, thank you. I used aliasTag Title:Group and it delivered exactly what i want. I need to better understand how group works because the outcome is great

My suggestion of using Movement:Group was not appropriate but I'm glad it pointed you in the right direction!

A group is like a hybrid of a track and an album (or playlist). Like an album or playlist, it contains tracks and can be opened to view them. A group can also be played with a single click if your control point supports this (most do).
