I woud like to use both Roon’s and my personal tags for Genres as I have created some specific tags for me. The result is that I have now 2 Genres names “Classique”, with some coming from Roon and some from my tags. Spelling is completely identical.
Is there a way to merge all albums with Genre “Classique” into only one Genre?
One way would be to remove my personnal tag with “Classique” on all the corresponding albums, but would be pretty long.
Instead of merging, you could focus-filter all albums bearing your personal genre tag ´Classique´, subsequently selecting them all and adding the official genre ´Classique´ known to roon to all of them in one go. This should have the same result as merging.
Is your personal ´Classique´ a top-level genre? The other variant would be to go to the genre editor and make it a sub-genre of the official ´Classique´ top-level genre. This should also give all albums their full rights to appear under the official genre tag.
Wonder why roon did not recognize it. Maybe the internal database might be based on English top-level genre names, in this case ´Classical´.
That is doable with focus and mass-edit. Just go to album overview, focus filter for your tag `Classique´, select one album, subsequently using the ´Select All´ option, just like this:
If you now go to ´Edit´, you can remove the wrong ´Classique´ tag from all albums in one go.
Thanks a lot @Arindal for your answer. Indeed, I found that one of the “Classique” group was in reality “Classical”. I don’t know why, but selecting all those and removing the “Classical” tag moved all albums into only one Genre “Classique”.

@Gilles Welcome!
Is this genre ´Classique´ properly integrated into the genre hierarchy of roon with all its subgenres? If not, it might be more useful to use ´Classical´ as a genre and remove the ´Classique´ credit from all albums.
That might be due to roon internally working with the original English tag and credit structure of MusicBrainz and Xperi/Tivo, doing the translation for the frontend as the very last step so ´Classique´ is just what it shows. I use English language roon and tags, so never noticed this problem.
@Arindal ,
Thank you. I am discovering Roon little by little. This will not be my last question I think 
. Thanks for your support.
“Classique” seems to be properly implemented with its sub-genres from what I can see. There is something strange with language. It would be in any case useful if one could merge Genres the same way we can do for composers.
I have still some clean-up to do on my library. Was OK on my Slim Server I used until now, but I want to benefit from Room more structured Genre approach, so will have to do some clean-up.
