Hi everyone, been trying out Picard, and have been trying to get performer & remixer to be written to tags, instead of performer:lead vocals, etc. (and never remixer), but I’m not very good at scripting, and can’t seem to find a way to get these written as standardized, multi-value tags.
Any help is appreciated!

You probably need to write a small plugin to achieve this. (If anyone knows otherwise please say.)
In essence, the track metadata plugin would need to iterate through the metadata, and for each performer:\* variable you would need to iterate through the performers and for each name check whether they already exist in the plain performer variable and if not add them.
