For a contributor who only acts as a composer this always works in
Michael's implementation:
albums 0 100 artist_id:980 role_id:2
This doesn't work unless you have checked "Composer" in the "Composer,
Band and Orchestra in Artists" setting in LMS Settings/My Music:
albums 0 100 artist_id:980
Feels like the second should also work, so that's probably a bug.
However, changing that could maybe affect the behaviour of "My Music
/Artists/<artist>" menu because I think it currently only lists albums
where the contributor is part of the albums in the roles setup in
"Composer, Band and Orchestra in Artists" setting, while if we change it
there is probably a risk it will return all albums.
The only scenario I can think of where this might become an issue is for
artist who both acts as an artist on their own album plus acts as
composer for a lot of other artists. In such setup we might end up in a
scenario where a lot of somewhat irrelevant albums appear under these
artists just because they have composed the music. I'm starting to feel
that to be able to change the default query to return all albums we
probably also need to introduce the sectioned by role view in the GUI
which I suggested earlier in the thread, else this is probably going to
become an issue for some tagging enthusiasts who set composer tags also
on pop/rock music and not just classical music.
