See this post for a similar discussion. If support for browsing paths were to be added in a future release, you would be able to create a browsing path for 'Composer/Work' and use this instead of having independent Composer and Work index choices.

Quote:I am aware that my modified configuration would not be suitable for non-classical music and that this runs counter to the current interface philosophy, which has the flexibility to work for both classical and non-classical music. My general preference for pared down interfaces means that I would actually like to have the same ability in MinimServer as I currently have by using rules in JRMC, which is to present information differently for classical versus non-classical music, i.e. to switch configurations based on the Genre setting. Is this something that might be considered for a future release?

At present, Genre is just an index tag and has no other special significance. I would be reluctant to add special treatment for this specific index tag. It might be possible to extend browsing paths to do what you want by adding the ability to define a browsing path for 'Genre=Classical/Composer/Work' or something along these lines. Can you say more about the differences you have in mind?
