Generally speaking it is best to leave AlbumArtist blank when tagging compilations. LMS is designed to note that there are multiple different track artists and will treat it as a compilation which will appear under whatever you told it to under Settings / My Music e.g. Various Artists and also under "Compilations" There is a "Compilation" tag which LMS will read during scan but again general advice is not to use it. If you actually tag AlbumArtist as Various Artists it will list under "Various Artists" but not under Compilations.
