Composer as Additional Credit not Recognised

[Barry_Morgan]

My understanding is that album track details are meant show the number of performances for the same track title/composer. However:-
When the composer is in the Roon database or file tags, the performances are shown. If however the composer is not in the Roon database or file tags, and I add the composer is an additional credit, the link is not made and that performance is not seen. Other performances are not seen on the track where I added the composer credit, nor is this track seen on performances for the same title/composer where the composer is in the Roon database or file tags.
The documentation I can find on composers implies this is all that is needed to make the links, but apparently not. Could you advise if there is anything else I should be doing or is Roon ignoring the edit data layer when matching title/composer?

Barry

… I am having the same problem. Does anyone have a solution for this?

Is this perhaps the same bug as described in the following thread (and elsewhere)?

Problems with compositions

Hi @support, I am currently digging through my library to get certain things rated, corrected, adjusted and so on. On various occasions I experience problems with compositions related to non-classical music. Here is an expample: The tracks “Antique Doll” and “I Had Too Much to Dream Last Night” show up as compositions on two different compilations (as you can see below) [grafik] [grafik] [grafik] [grafik] On both compilations the “Go To Composition” menu is available if I edit the corres…

If so, then Roon is aware

If the album is your own rip, then a possible work around can be found here

Tracks with NO composition

Hi @dylan if i can summarize the overall discussion, there are 2 scenarios: scenario 1: import settings with “prefer roon” for multi-part. then even if you tag files with a composer (and/or a composition=WORK) tag the tracks remain “orphan” with no composition associated. composers are shown under the tracks (if settings ask to), but no more than that: added composers do not exist in the library and the links are not active. this happens not every time, but is quite likely if allmusic has only…

Thanks, Brian, for the help and sorry for the late reaction. I think the second option works bestfor me, although tonight I added a composer through ‘credit’ and it made the recording (Don Juan by Richard Strauss) automatically appear in the list of other performances I own. Hm…
