This would be fine if Gibbs, for example, had a consistent line-up for all the cds, but he doesn't. Lineup 1 was on half of them and lineup 2 (with not much overlap) was on the rest. Similarly, the pre-war Ellington orchestra had different personnel from the post-war orchestra. I can have only one of these line-ups in the artist profile (as far as I can see) so would have to enter the other individually for each cd, even though much the same personnel is on a number of them. Being able to copy and paste would still work better.

I tried to use the Period in Artist Profile -> Lineup to distinguish among Ellington groups from different eras using for "1920-1940" for the early group and "1941-1960" for those in the later group, but all of them showed up regardless of the date. (I tried both the date on the General tab of the Record Properties and on the Recording tab, but neither worked as a filter.)
