I am looking for an expression thats outpout the dominant artist on albums.
The artist who appears on the most tracks on an album, when several artists are involved in different tracks.

It is not clear to me that this can be done generally, since a list of artists may contain any number of individual artists, and there is no means to iterate through the list of items.

You could handle up to N artists, and use the new global variable functions to create/increment a unique per album-artist variable each time it is seen in your artist list.  The expression would test the number of items in the list and increment the album-artist var, and also save the artist name in an album-artist-max value, updating this value with each increment when appropriate.  It will be ugly.

A manual way to do this is to create a categories view with first Album and then Artist and display the Artist level as a list with a Track # column that the list is sorted by.
