Composer not updating

Still mulling the 2 x composer issue. Meanwhile can I raise the issue I alluded to in the last post on that topic: if I update the composer tag and re-import, it doesn't seem to update in the album display. E.g. here I updated Shostakovich to omit the patronym - it is updated in the database view but not on the album page.

BTW, I notice also that tracks 3 and 5 in this album have no space after the semi-colon. The source tags for the import to these fields are FLAC tags which have a semi-colon followed by a space. It seems as if Muso is (correctly) recognising these as a multi-valued field, but then joining with a semi-colon and no space.

Addressing the first issue, but I'm not sure about the second - for a track title it just takes the tag as is, it doesn't split by separator character.

..but it seems to remove the space from after the semi-colon. I checked the underlying tag and it seems to happen during the import (i.e. wrong in the database, not just on the display).

..aha.. Edit ID-tag shows it as a string with a semi-colon, but Mp3tag shows it as two tags. So Muso is combining the tags and adding the semi-colon with no space (or the tag library it uses is doing that)?

Ah right, yes Muso may be doing that if there are two title tags.

Any chance of Muso adding the usual "; " rather than just ";" ?

I'll look into it.

It's odd I'm not replicating that behaviour. It only seems to read one TITLE tag if I set up two. Do you have any import actions affecting this? Also what filetype is it?
Furthermore if I set up two ARTIST tags they are imported into Muso with ; and space as the separator.

I am importing the tag PART into Title. The source file is FLAC. If there are two PART tags then on import into Title they are separated by a semicolon with no space. Multiple ARTIST tags are shown correctly with '; '. However, if you import multiple ARTISTS (note plural) into the Artist field, they are only separated by ';' so maybe it is something to do with the import. (Of course it doesn't matter for the Artist field as the display uses ', ' to separate them and seems to parse the ';' OK.)
