You only want a single ALBUMARTIST+ALBUMARTISTSORT ("A&B") plus two
ARTIST.(s): "A" and "B" on all tracks on an album.
If you have multiple ALBUMARTIST tags on a track the outcome is
uncertain - likewise if you have multiple ARTIST tags and try and set
ARTISTSORT tags for each. However, if the same artists crop up as
individual artists in their own right on other tracks elsewhere, then
the ARTISTSORT order for those artists will be inherited from there.
Unfortunately this is the inevitable consequence of the broken logical
data model of music file tagging. This isn't an SBS problem, it's
generic. The very idea of having "ALBUMARTIST" tags on individual
tracks is just plain silly (or denormalised, if you prefer) when
ALBUMARTIST is obviously an attribute of an "album" not a "track"...
