Is this planned for 3.1? The better support for classical music IMHO doesn't make so much sense if one of the main ways of displaying the titles only can display the raw title and no movement etc. information.

in v3.1 there is already a new display field: Title (Formatted)

I think the OP specifically is looking for the new Title filed in the expanded album panel

Yea, but it can't be used, just "Title", which is always preselected along with "Track#"!

for the nextt v3.1 update i have enhanced the expanded panel configuration so you can choose to show the title field that handles classicial music. I have also renamed that field to: Title (Classical Music) so it gives some more hint what its intended for
Additionally you can now also select a virtual field so you can construct your own representation of the track title if you so wish

It's nice to read that the formatted title will be made available in the expanded album panel!

Related to this, when I select <Title (Formatted)> in the Template editor I get the message FAIL @ "<Title (Formatted)>". I want to display this field in the Main player and Track information panel, but it doesn't let me because of this.
