Adding custom calculated field for 'Album Rating'
« on: July 31, 2016, 10:04:55 am »

I am trying to create a custom field that applies at the album level called "Album Rating". It should simply be the total number of stars divided by the number of tracks returned as a decimal. I've played with the expression fields and functions for a while but, being old and senile, I can't seem to figure out how to do it.

Any help will be *deeply* appreciated.

To do this, you need global variables.  They are kind of unusual to work with, but they work.  Here's a thread with some details on how mark_h did his:
