i am not comitting either way as to whether this request will be implemented but one thing i have thought about for some time is no longer splitting <artist> into the individual artists/ performers when "split multi-value tags into rows" is enabled.
If you have the split option enabled, the field would be upgraded to <artists: artist> which would continue to split the field into the individual artists but if set the field to <artist> MB will show the display artist irrespective of whether the split option is enabled or not.
I am guessing that will suffice for the original request anyway
I need this setting enabled to make one of my fields display correctly. However, when it's enabled it also makes the <artist> tag display not only the main artist but also the performers in their own row beneath the main artist, something I don't have any use for.+1
... I like the idea of displaying the artwork along with what I consider to be primary information (album, artist, title) without having to switch tabs or scroll through a lot of info... Having a second information panel dedicated to secondary information (such as performers and their role, lyricist and composers) would therefore be the optimal solution to my problem.+1 for a new tab (in my case for Album review / comments).
... Although, I've been wanting a Comment element that I could stack with the Bio & Lyrics.. Wishlist maybe, if there's any interest.
You could use the Additional Tagging Tools plugin from the add-ons section to copy Artists: Artist and Artists: Guest Artist or Artist (Displayed) to a custom tag and then display by the custom tag.
Or for something that is continuous, a virtual tag that just pulls the first artist from the list of artists and display by that virtual tag. Come to think of it, that's probably the better option.
