Is that planned or an over-sight?it was intentional on the basis that it was probably going to complicate things and i thought the new setting would take extra space so go against that option but will investigate it if there is a wish for it.
Two very small (I hope) additional requests. Could we please have a single empty row before the Sub-Header as well (unless there is already an empty space due to the presence of a second disc)? I feel this would make it look neater. And could clicking on a sub-header highlight the relevant tracks just like clicking on a grouping header does please? Even if these can't be done, this is a brilliant addition. Thanks again Steven!the 2nd i was planning to do. The first, for the extra spacing does anyone else have an opinion on that?

I feel that this looks quite inconsistent and would be improved with an extra space.can you confirm the extra space is because the disc number has changed and if so, as vivadavid suggest i could change the spacing between discs to be optional

There is then a space after the end of the first grouping before the next track.
I think it'd make more sense if the space between the bonus tracks and the rest of the tracks of the second disc were smaller than the space between the tracks of the first CD and those of the second CD.I think that's over-complicating it. I also can't think of any simple way to indicate which heading should get a "full" gap and which should get a "half" gap.
I have already added an option to insert an extra space before the sub-header in the next v2.2 update.
But I still don't understand why the spacing is being inserted between 05 and 06. Is it there that you disable the sub-header?There is then a space after the end of the first grouping before the next track.
I guess probably lots of people are using some sort of virtual tag, along with a few custom tags, for this new feature. Would be great if direct input of virtual formula is possible for sub-grouping header.
I'm having the same problem with the contrast setting for the new subheading as I have for the album details in this view - when I change the contrast, the text gets darker rather than lighter (sort of like the default black text is showing through, rather than the background color of the skin).if you are refering only to when you use the skin override element, then that is fixed for the next v2.2 update. In the interim if you set the bg attribute of that element to the same colour as the background it should work

1. Go to Preferences> Layout (1)> Configure Fields
2. Pick up a field you will most likely never use. My selection was "keywords" field.
3. Rename the field to anything you like. I just made it blank.
4. Add the field to main panel and position it at the beginning of column header.
5. Now you can (1) sort by "group by" field by clicking on the column and (2) resize left margin of track list by adjusting the column.
You can use this trick for that as well.(http://i.imgur.com/ZUuAaiv.png)

Don't forget that you can use the Configure Fields pop-up from Layout (1) to change the alignment of any column.
It works perfectly except the " - " part, if it only has a disc title and no comment then it shows the ' - ' but it shouldn't.or perhaps move the (" - ") like so ...
change ...so that the " - " is appended only when there *is* a comment to display. However, if <Disc Title> is null and a <Comment> exists, then the " - " will display first.
$IsNull(<Disc Title>,,<Disc Title>" - ")$IsNull(<Comment>,,<Comment>)
to ...
$IsNull(<Disc Title>,,<Disc Title>)$IsNull(<Comment>,," - "<Comment>)
$IsNull(<Disc Title>,,<Disc Title>)$IsNull(<Comment>,,$IsNull(<Disc Title>,," - ")<Comment>)
tracks containing the words "main title"
"Would you add "Album Artist" field and "Grouping" field to that?"
Do you mean adding these tags to the tracks of the album or to the columns of the Track detail view?
I decided to delete all the tags, but the problem was still there. I had to remove the sorting rules and only then I saw the tracks back.
You asked me for information and for captions of my settings and the values of my tags and I did send them to you, so I was paying attention to your messages.
You complain that "I never had a chance to see what values were in album artist field of those tracks" but I did send you the captions in my message at 01:11:40 PM:

The <ALBUM ARTIST> column was empty because there was nothing: there was no tag with such a name.
BTW it doesn't work with the display first few tracks only option enabled.

assuming they are in the same sub-group
so should the sub-header for "Perfect" be blank, the same as for "You Oughta Know" or is it simply not displaying?
Could it be changed so that the first item under a subheader starts with the contrast color, just like the first item in a new album?
That's cool Steven. It's not exactly a major thing that I'm going to be waiting for with bated breath, so I'm happy to wait for if and when you have the time.
i found a smple way to do this so its done for the next update
