Yes, it sounds correct to me.

The "Various Artists" special SC artist appears under "V" and at the top of the 
list.  Both are identical entries, and are configured to display compilation 
albums.

It is not correct to enter an artist of "Various Artists", that doesn't 
automatically denote that the album is a compilation; if all artists on an 
album are set to "Various Artists", the album is not a compilation, and thus is 
not displayed under the "Various Artists" album.

If you change the special name that is used for displaying compilation albums 
under, then your "Various Artists" artist that does not contain various artist 
albums will display the albums by the artist called "Various Artists".

If you were to set COMPILATION=1 on all songs, then it would be listed under 
"Various Artists" without changing the special name to "Compilations".  Better 
still, tag the songs correctly to say who performs on each song, and it would 
automatically be listed correctly.
