Grouping, Comments, Work, Movement etc.

[SeventhBus]

Hello all,

Tl;Dr; Is there a consensus on which tag to use for "subheading" of an album?

Screenshots here

More info:
I was quite happy finding out I could display "Grouping" in my album view with tracks. This is my preferred screen for browsing music with friends. It took quite some manual labour adding the "Grouping" tags to the batches of tracks in long albums.

To my horror I saw that Discogs through TagScanner adds these sub-groups in "Comments".
For the album in the screenshot Discogs delivers the countries of each work in "Comments".

So I read a discussion where Movements/Pieces were discussed and there were many ways that lead to Rome. Also because not all users are looking for the same result.

I understand that on Discogs some users might not have added things in the right field, so my question is: if I don't want to shorten the filenames but only want each "part" of an album to have a heading before it, what tag would you fill?

I use Grouping for subdivisions of an album (contiguous tracks).

Examples:

• For the recording of a two-part choral concert: 'Sacred music', 'Folk songs'
• For a ballet: 'Act 1', 'Act 2', ...

There is not a consensus.

I believe if you have extensive view requirements for your library, the best way to maximize the value of the subgrouping header value, however, is to use a Virtual Tag.

I read your first post too fast. Something more detailed below.

This is how I use the sub-grouping header (with virtual tags):
Sub-grouping Header for Classical and Non-Classical Music

Here you can find an long exchange between forum users about the sub-grouping header:
