I'm really not going to argue over preferences - everyone has their
favourite way of doing things. I can only code for what works for me. I
predominately use Album Artist -> Album. For this, an artist list,
followed by a grid of their albums is the most suitable.

I have stated that I -could- add paging of the returned lists onto the
grid view; but this would be sub-optimal. Which is why I have not
implemented this so far. However, the source is open so you are free to
have a go at implementing this yourself.

Yeah the limit check was wrong, it was "less than" rather than "less
than or equal" - fixed now. If I set the new Music limit to 299 I still
got a grid, with the fix (just commited) I can also set to 300 and get a
grid.

I've also created ~200 fake "Various Artists" albums - and these also
appear in a grid (when viewed Various Artists -> list of albums)

Perhaps, seeing as your are running the git version, that the cache is
incorrect? Add "?clearcache=true" to the browser's URL - this will cause
Material to clear it caches.
