Magic.  You are, of course, spot on.  It now works exactly as I wanted. 
Thanks very much.  If you have time to tell me why it caused this I'd be
grateful.

I need to find my way round the internals a bit more to understand how
it hangs together.  For instance, there's a mass of header menu items
(eg artistheader/genre), but I can't figure out what gets used where
(and why).  Is there a guide somewhere on the wiki?


To anyone reading who doesn't understand why I wanted this extra tag,
consider a multi-Movement Work of which you have several performances,
on CDs that have performances by different people.

I want to keep 'Album Artist' for its genuine meaning (the Artist or
Artists, if any, that apply to the whole CD or set of CDs in a
multi-disc set).

I want to keep 'Artist' (Track Artist) for it's true meaning for that
Movement, particularly in works that have different artists in
different movements (eg a Choral work or Opera).

So I want something that identifies who is the key Artist (or Artists)
for the Work (set of Movements/tracks) as a whole.  The standard 'works
by composer' menu goes straight from works to movements, which may be by
several people, and it isn't easy to pick the set of movements for the
performance you want.  You could go via a different menu (eg. composers
by artists) but by the time you are where you are (having forgotten you
had 3 Bach B Minor Masses with 20+ Movements in each version) that's a
pain.  

WorkArtist fixes this.

Thanks again.
