Hi Michael:

About the “the” and others, it could be a good idea as LMS does

About the Bach case, it is difficult to solve. It is a problem with all
the classical music authors. Spotify uses the name and surname in all
the authors and I use only the surname. I.e. Debussy, Mozart, Beethoven,
Chopin.

could be possible to look for a substring inside a string?

Thank you very much

JP
