I think so. The scanner looks for tags in the files and/or information
in your cue sheet and writes information to the database based on what
it finds. In database terms artists, composers and conductors etc are
all "contributors" with an assigned "role" for the album or track in
question. LMS then displays the information based on that role number.

I suspect there are limitations when you only use cue sheets but for
those of use who don't there is far more flexibility in that certain
tags can contain multiple values or there can be multiple tags of the
same type which the scanner can read and write to the database so you
can have more than one role 5/6 entry per track/album.

You can multi tag the following for sure
Artist
AlbumArtist
Genre

In mp3tag you can do it two ways

Artist as example
Either "B.B. King & Eric Clapton; Eric Clapton; B.B. King" - one tag
with multiple values. LMS scanner splits by ;
Or "B.B. King & Eric Clapton\\Eric Clapton\\B.B. King" - mp3tag writes
three tags each called artist. LMS scanner will read all three

The result is the same you get three lines added to the database
