Yeah, in any case, I'd like that - with or without the composer
credit. For the composer lists I'd like if we could agree on some
mockup of how a catalog page should look like, and try to get those
added in the next schema change - wouldn't solve all the issues with
this but it would give a much better work list (or rather, several!)
for most major composers. This is probably not the thread to talk
about it but if you (general you) feel it's worth it we could open one
:)
