Perfomer/Artist tags

[Beesmyer]

My songs were tagged with picard and has added the performer tags.
In MB, the artist column browser on the left, when I select "artist".. it shows the performer tags as artsts in the column. So for example it shows...

Lana Del Rey
Lana Del Rey (Lead Vocal)
Lana Del Rey (Background Vocal)
Lana Del Rey (Spoken Vocal)
Lana Del Rey (effects)

Is there a way to have MB only display the artist tags when I select "artist"

Searching for that same option, here...

You can use Artists: Artist instead of just Artist. 

But a better option might be to configure Picard to write Performer to a different field.  In Options > Advanced > Scripting, you could try something like this:

$set(musician,%performer%)
$unset(performer)

You could then configure "Musician" as a custom tag in MB, retaining that data while keeping it from showing up in the Artist field.

(I think I've used the correct tag for Performer, but if it doesn't work check here: http://picard.musicbrainz.org/docs/mappings/)
