Which custom tags scanned with Custom Scan plugins are used with your
menus ? Is it just WORK and MOVEMENT ?
Do you use all 22 menus or is there some you can live without ?

Completely agree, thats why I said that I think customizing Custom
Browse SQL configuration to use virtual libraries is wasted time. People
that rely on Custom Browse/Custom Scan need to specify more clearly how
they use them so its possible for someone to implement new
functionality in LMS core or new third party plugin to offer the
required functionality. A new plugin for classic music with the most
important features could make sense, Im pretty sure there are more
people interested in this. It can be significantly more hard coded
compared to Custom Browse/Custom Scan which means less code/work, as
long as people interested in classical music can agree whats needed. I
suspect adding support for classical music is going to be too much work
to be included in LMS core but possibly some additions could be done in
the core to make it easier for the plugin developer.
Using virtual library to separate classical music from all other music
still makes sense but that does not solve your problem.

I suspect the library id doesnt change but Michael or someone else need
to say for sure. However, I still think your best solution is to
continue using Multi Library (as long as it works) if you need all these
menus and instead spend the time to gather people interested in
classical music and agree on which features that are missing today.
