See the initial discussion on the Community Forum, where @mfmeulenbelt was encountering problems with the artist country information not always being returned from the Additional Artists Details plugin.

Is it possible to limit the number of additional artists in an album?

Here is an example from the South Park album: https://musicbrainz.org/release/ba2581b2-233e-402b-83b1-3a8c928865bb
Track 1 has 6 artists:
Stan Marsh, Kenny McCormick, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, Sharon Marsh & Sheila Broflovski

I'd like to write to my file only, like, 3 artists max, primary and 2 additional..

PS: my temporary solution:
$if($gt($len(%artist%),60),$left(%artist%,60),%artist%)

based on the forum thread, this is a known issue, but I figured I'd create an issue here as well~

I do quite like the plugin tho~ 🙌

Hi, thanks for your plugin, unfortunately, it doesn't do quite what I'm needing, so I need your help in that per requested at the MusicBrainz Picard Forum...

I've created a post there showing exactly what I'm needing done (which includes a Video Demo I created).

If you could help that would be great.... Thanks much.

Hi
Firstly thank you for providing these great Picard plugins.

I have been using the Additional Artists Variables plugin for some time now but have spotted some weirdness after upgrading to 0.9. My scripts (which I think I lifted directly from one of your forum posts) as follows:

$set(albumartist,%_artists_album_primary_std%))
$set(artist,%_artists_album_primary_std%))

I have an album by Bill Evans which features Stan Getz, previously both Artist and AlbumArtist were set to Bill Evans (as desired) but under 0.9 both are set to Stan Getz.

Has the context changed under 0.9 ?
