OK - thanks very much. I hadn't appreciated you started from scratch -
I thought you were modifying an existing one. I have a lot of
classical, and another custom tag that I use ('work artist' - the main
artist for a work, which isn't necessarily the artist for the whole
album, and may not be the only artist on some tracks).
This will take me quite some time to get into. I'm aware of the
various tags used in CB menus (from the wiki), so will have a crack
creating a new one and see how far I can get. :)
