I'm not sure anyone bothers w. entering tracklist ACs right now, so that means tracklist AC = release AC. And my suggestion for Release Artist is featured composer & performers. So it really depends on the guideline for Tracklist ACs (unless you tag with something else, but I'm assuming this now) Probable outcome if we don't bother with entering tracklist ACs: Beethoven / Yo Yo Ma / Martha Argerich - Sonata for cello and piano, Op. 99 If we set tracklist ACs to always composer, well, then you get the composer. You can't get only Yo Yo Ma unless someone thinks that he is the only featured release artist (old recital-style maybe) + doesn't change the default tracklist artist. (Or you tag from recording ACs and someone skipped the piano player.) /symphonick
