Try it, Dennis.
Add [Composition] as a level to your view and try it.

I added composition as a field but when I went to edit the view, it wasn't available to add as a level
But I did try adding the expression again (listitem([name],0,:)) and I see what you mean.
I would need to change all my file names.....currently my Album name is the same as composition. Maybe I can do some fancey global change if I get up the nerve.

Regarding your file names, as I'd mentioned in my previous tutorial on compositions and album ratings, yes, you do have to be rigorous about naming your tracks. You have to have a system, and stick to it.

You are right ... MC could add Classical music friendly views.
