I believe I am beginning to see a pattern.  I got somewhat side-tracked
by my belief that ComposerSort was inspected by LMS.  However, it seems
that neither it nor ConductorSort are, but BandSort, ArtistSort and
AlbumArtistSort are.  That's all OK.

What isn't OK is that some valid ArtistSort and AlbumArtistSort tags get
overwriiten.  The pattern seems to be:

- the name has to include an accented character
- the name has to be an Artist and/or AlbumArtist and also a Conductor
or Composer, or else be a band

What happens then is that I get (name,namesort):


"André George Previn","ANDRé GEORGE PREVIN"     (my ArtistSort is PREVIN
ANDRE GEORGE)
"André Segovia","ANDRé SEGOVIA"                        (my ArtistSort is
SEGOVIA ANDRE)
"István Kertész","ISTVáN KERTéSZ"                        (my ArtistSort
is KERTESZ ISTVAN)
"Hallé O","HALLé O"                                              (my
BandSort is HALLE O)
"RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra","RTÉ NATIONAL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA" (my
BandSort has E for É)

But:
"André Bernard","BERNARD ANDRE"    (is OK - this is only an Artist)
"David Willcocks","WILLCOCKS DAVID"                  (is OK, even though
Willocks is a composer, the name has no accent)
"The Belcea Quartet","BELCEA QUARTET"  (is OK as I set it like this)

I think what is happening is that the accented character á or é (etc) in
the namesort is causing a later comparison with the sorted name to go
wrong.  So when Willcocks as a Conductor is found the ArtistSort is not
corrupted, but when Previn as a conductor, or Segovia as a Composer, is
found the name comparison fails and is corrupted.  

I don't know where the code is in LMS.  If someone can help with finding
it I'll go and look.
