I wish it were true, but sadly not.  Further, Conductors who are also
AlbumArtists without accents randomly suffer the same fate.

I'm close to certain that the problem is as I tried to explain in my
first post.  There is no recognition of ConductorSort tags in LMS (which
I accept as OK), but as a result a perfectly good AlbumArtistSort tag is
either not being recognised (because namesort is already set - wrongly),
or when a Conductor tag is seen the (good) namesort is overwritten. 

I have determined I can get round most of this using CustomScan and
CustomBrowse.  It's a fair bit of work, and longer scans and slower
menus may result, but it's all I can do for now.  To make the standard
menus work for Album Artists (or indeed Conductors with the LMS 7.9
Additional Browse Modes) I'll have to determine all candidates for
PostScan, which could take me a long time.  I may have to do it for
every possible conductor (385 at the last count), since there seems to
be an element of randomness going on (I assume due to the order tags are
detected?) in which contributors are affected.  That in turn begins to
become overwhelming impractical, since my method of forming the sorted
versions of names uses complex regexs in puddletag (or mp3tag) that took
me a long time to work out (I'm not very quick....).



LMS 7.9 on VortexBox Midi, Xubuntu 14.04, FLACs 16->24 bit,
44.1->192kbps. LMS & Squeeze2upnp to MF M1 CLiC (to MF amp & ESLs) &
Marantz CR603 UPnP renderers.  Minimserver (server) & upplay (control
point) to same renderers & to upmpdcli/mpd PC renderers.  Squeezelite to
Meridian USB Explorer DAC to speakers/phones.  Wireless Xubuntu 14.04
laptop with firefox/upplay or Android 'phone with
Squeeze-Commander/BubbleUPnP controls LMS/Minimserver.   Have a Touch
