A new version of Classical Extras is now available. This incorporates a significant number of enhancements and will be the last beta version before the next full release.  
Enhancements include

- Ability to use aliases of work names instead of the MusicBrainz standard names.
- Various options to use aliases and as-credited names for performers and work-artists (i.e. work relationship artists).
- Option to use recording artists as well as (or instead of) track artists.
- All work relationship artists are now tagged for all work levels (with some special processing for lyricists).
- New UI layout to separate tag mapping from artist options.
- Option to split lyrics into common (release) and unique (track) components.

There has also been a good deal of code-tidying and bug fixing, so I hope it is reasonably robust. You can download the zip file for installation here: [https://github.com/MetaTunes/picard-plugins/releases/tag/v0.8.4](https://github.com/MetaTunes/picard-plugins/releases/tag/v0.8.4)
