Maybe this can't be done, maybe I'm missing something, I'm happy either way just wanna understand.

I love Neil Young and so I've got about 2800 tracks (maybe 20%) in my library and of course they're all rated 4 or 5.

However there are times when I want a Smartlist that has maybe 10% Neil instead of 30%.  I'm using the MC "Favorites - Have Not Heard Recently" preset smartlist with "[rating]=4,5 [last played]=>10080 [media type]=[audio]" as the argument.  Can I use the "Limit" argument to keep Neil to 10%?  I've tried adding him in various places, with and without parens and it doesn't work.

Is this just not doable?  

Thanks!

I don't use smartlists too much, mainly view schemes but this would certainly work.  

Create a playlist group and 2 smartlists beneath it.

In smartlist1 create this rule:  [Artist]=[Neil Young] ~n=xxx
(xxx = the maximum number of Neil Young tracks you want to be included)

In smartlist 2 create this rule: -[Artist]=[Neil Young]

So smartlist1 has the Neil Young tracks that you want and smartlist2 has the rest of your library without Neil Young.  Now you just have to click the playlist group to see the combined result.  A bit clunky I think but it'll work 'till a smartlist expert comes along.
