That’s one approach but not what I’d recommend. I know BJW will disagree
vehemently.

My approach is
1. Group all tracks in one folder per CD set but ensure discnumber
values are set.
2. For compilations leave AA blank in all cases. 
3. Remove all compilation tags completely.
4. Leave LMS settings as “Various Artists” or set it to whatever you
want to group compilations by.

NB. 
1. My approach may not work for all software but it does work for LMS. 
2. LMS compare the value of AA with A. If A differs across the album but
AA is blank it’s a compilation. You can force the issue with compilation
tag=1 but it shouldn’t be necessary.

So either way will work but choose which and stick to the schema
