Parenthesis around artist name

[dujuarez]

How do I remove parenthesis around an artist's name?

[phred]

Seriously???
Use the delete key when in the Tag Editor.

Proceed to bang head on keyboard until parenthesis no longer appears around artist's name.

I'm gonna give OP a benefit of the doubt.

Where in MusicBee are you seeing this artist name in parentheses?
Are you looking to perform a bulk operation across your whole library?

Proceed to bang head on keyboard until parenthesis no longer appears around artist's name.

This would be the alternate method. I can confirm it works, but I strongly suggest you keep a supply of aspirin available.

I'm at Artist on left panel. Second album cover show artist name with parenthesis. I click on album, right click and enter edit. Under the two tabs; Tags and Sorting are the artist name without any parenthesis. Is there another location I should be at?

Thank you.

(1) EXPLANATION why the artist's name is surrounded with square brackets

In the standard settings of the Artists view (displaying tag Title),
the Artist's name is shown between square brackets when it differs from the Album Artist.

Side note:
in the pictures you posted, "[Gábor Szabó]" is displayed since "Gábor Szabó" is not the same as "Gabor Szabo" for MusicBee.

(2) SOLUTION: if you wish another layout, you can define a virtual tag containing exactly what you wish to display,
and use it in the Artists view instead of Title.

STEPS:

• Define virtual tag MyTitle with this formula:
  

  <Title>$If(<Artists>=<Album Artist>,,{contrast: 60}"        "$Replace(<Artists>,<Album Artist>"; ",))

  
  
• In the main panel, customise the Artists view to display MyTitle instead of Title.

If you are not familiar with the process:

* Click on panel header 'Artists'.
* Select Customise panel....
* Click on button [Show settings].
* Replace Title by MyTitle and [Save].

If you are talking about the square brackets here:

Then karbock has given you the answer above.


If you are talking about the round brackets here:

Your image shows that you have multiple artists tagged and you should check the Multiple Artist Splitter window here:

Fortunately, tjinc's keen eye spotted the parenthesis I had missed.
Either my speed reading was too fast, or my grey cells "are greying" somewhat.
