Wish List - Collaboration option in Track Artist

[SAdrummer]

@ Jazz_North: I use the default V6 theme. But let me explain, because I think we're not talking about the same issue. At the bottom right of the album view all authors/performers ara shown indeed under 'Credits'. That is correct.
In the track listing however I only see the person I entered in the 'Composer' field on the General tab and those who are entered as 'Lyricist' under 'Authors and performance' in the Credits tab. If a track has two composers (as Bogumil mentioned: Lennon & McCartney) I don't want them in one field as 'Lennon & McCartney' because that would create a composer entry with that name. I want to see them as two individual composers. So I enter one in the 'Composer' field and the other on the Credits tab whit the role 'Composer'. In the track list at the top right of the album view only the one entered on the General tab is shown. When I enter a lyricist (or more) on the Credits tab, they are shown after the compsoser. I attached a screen shot from my view. For track 2 the compser Darren Bartlett is entered on the General tab. Wayne Bartlett and Roel van Kesteren are entered as 'Lyricist' on the Credits tab. In the same tab I entered the second composer of the track as 'Compser' on the Credits tab, but he doesn't show up there.

Did I answer your question 'why'? A vtrack can be composed by more than 1 composer and I want them to be shown seperately, not as a duo. Consider it the same way as a collaboration. Because 'Composer' on the General tab is not a collaboration field, I have to put the second composer somewhere. Under Credits seems the most logical place.

I hope that you as a veteran user can help me.

Greetz,

I think we differ in how we regard lyricists and "composers". To me they are not separate but a team and so I do have them together. In any case, if I want to search for one or the other that is easily done. And, in many cases, I am not sure which is the lyricist and which the composer! Who did what in creating You Must Believe in Spring by Marilyn Bergman/Alan Bergman/Jacques Demy/Michel Legrand? And in a lot of cases the lyricist and composer are the same, of course (Irving Berlin, Cole Porter). But I guess I can understand why someone might want to separate them. As it stands I can't see anyway to have both appear in the track listing if they are not entered as a group with a lot of Java programming.
