Tried that one out as well: makes no difference...

Yes, I selected all Composers

Okay:
- RMB om 'Media Library'
- 'Add View Scheme'
- Select: Custom
- Image: Audio
- Populate tree
- Files: Add Rule, Advanced, select Composer
- in the next box: Select all (all composers ares listed in that box)
then ok + again ok

So I have:
Name (untagged) in the box: Composers
Image: audio
Behaviour: automatic/tagged both other options (populate tree and
Honor parent scheme...
Files: all the composers are listed there..

The details you enter in the 'Files' box under edit view scheme are just used to narrow down the search i.e. the files that are included.  I suspect you want to include all files, in which case, like Matt said, you don't need any data in there.  If, however you want to exclude any files that do not have a composer name tagged then you shoudl select Composer, Tick Empty and change the box at the bottom to Exclude.

When you've done this i.e. hit Ok in edit View Scheme, you need to specify how you want to browse the view e.g. by composer or by composer then by year etc.  That's what the panes are for that Matt was referring to.  Select your new view scheme and look in the main body of the screen above the files where it says 'Empty (Click here to configure)'.

Click there and add a pane for composer.  Then add further panes as desiered to allow you to narrow your selection down further if required.  You can also move columns left or right so you get the heirarchy right.

Given that you have a long list of composers one thing you might like to do is add 2 columns for composer, then click the column header for the left-most one and select Column poperties to set a grouping (Try 3 to start with).

Once you've done this you may find that it's easier using the panes (to select composer) than using the tree.  If so go back to edit view scheme and untick the 'Populate tree option'.

I agree that creating views is very confusing, and the documentation isn't much help.  The easiest way I know of to create the view you want is:

Right-click "Audio", select "Add View Scheme | Audio | Empty".

Now you have a boring view that shows all audio.

In the top pane where it says click to configure, right-click, select "Add Column | Advanced | Composer".  Now all your composers are in a list in the top pane, although that's not too interesting.

Finally, back in the tree on your left, right-click on your new view scheme (hopefully now magically renamed "Composer"), select "Edit View Scheme" and turn on the "Populate Tree" checkbox.

If you want even more hierarchy, you can repeat the "Add Column" step.  For example "Add Column | Album".  Now your view scheme is called "Composer/Album" (assuming you left the "auto-name" checkbox on), and under each composer there's another level showing the albums for that composer.

I would do it this way:

1. RMB on Media Library
2. Add View Scheme
3. Custom
4. Image
5. Populate Tree
6. Filter: MediaType=Audio (NOT MORE!)
7. Go to the view
8. Add a Column "Artist"
9. Voila

Yes - it took me quite some time to figure this out, but it is a killer-feature, trust me.

Using Edit> Add view scheme from teh menu bar does indeed seem to be broken.  The vast majority of people will not have noticed as they tend to right click on media library.

As for following your instructions - like I said they are not correct.  The only way to add the items you need to the tree is to add columns using the panes.  After you've done this you can hide the panes by dragging the horizontal splitter bar upwards until it's no longer in view.  However I would urge you to use the panes rather than the tree before you dismiss the idea.  This was the main enhancement that 9.1 gave us over 9.0 and is a big improvement in my opinion.

Add your view scheme using the right click on media library.  DO NOT enter any rule (like all composers) when adding the view scheme.  Just go back and follow my earlier instructions to the letter.

Let me know how you get on.
