My Music/Artists should contain artists that have an involvement at album
context, so any artist role where the role is on every song of the album. i.e.
if you have a classical music compilation, there could be different composers
or conductors on each track, so these wouldn't appear in the list, but if a
composer/conductor/band/artist appears on every track, then they should be in
the list. It's "browse albums for a chosen artist", but without the clutter of
thousands of artists that have only appeared once on a compilation.
The user can currently choose if bands, composers, conductors appear in the
list.
What would be nice is if there was an easier way to configure this on the fly.
eg. "+ More" button > Filter List > choose roles to display as checkboxes.
or
Have a separate "Browse Composers & Conductors" menu, as they are likely
separate things to be wanting to browse anyway.

Yes. All artists roles should be listed.

No - same as (1).

Again, I think any artist role that has an album context, to avoid a
proliferation of single-track artists.
Or have something like:
Browse Genres > [genre] >
Minor Artists >
album artist 1 >
album artist 2 >
i.e. a way to be able to reach artists that only appear on compilations. Could
be called "Minor Artists", "Various Artists", "Compilation Artists".

All albums, but preferably their own album works first, followed by albums in
which they have appeared last.

I suggest small incremental changes; there's not a lot of developer resources
to go round ;-) I would prefer to see some minor improvements over time,
rather than months of development being pulled at the last minute and seeing
nothing!
