The presentation of albums can be greatly enhanced by the use of Album Sub-Headers, Disk Sub-Headers, and Track Group Headers. These can be input in the Muso database (edit page), orcan be imported by mapping custom tags to the corresponding database fields.

Album Sub-Headers

An album sub-header is an additional piece of text you can have presented after the album title. It is commonly used to distinguish between different releases of the same album, and means you do not have to append it to the album title.

An album sub-header only needs to be defined on the first track of the album.

Disc Sub-Headers

A disc sub-header allows you to present a sub-title for a single disc - it only needs to be defined on the first track of the disc.

Track Group Headers

A track group header can be used to group tracks under a header. A track group header must be assigned to a set of consecutive tracks in order for them to be properly grouped.

If a track group has an artist/composer different to the album's titled artist (or the album is a compilation), it will display as a prefix to the group header. Similarly, if the track group has contributors different to the album these will be displayed after the group header.

Note: The database edit page has a shortcut for editing group headers. If you select multiple track rows which have a common track title prefix or common group heading, it will open up an edit box below the grid to allow a quick-edit:
