Just keep in mind that I don't want to have to retag artist to ensemble if 
I'm happy with the way things are.

As long as the display logic does something like this:
 
 if userDefinedDisplay:
    useUserDefinedDisplayLogic()
 else:  
   if exists ARTIST:
      display ARTIST
   else: 
      buildAritstFromComponents()
 
    if exists TITLE:
        ...

I'm happy to let you do what you need, if you don't mess with what I'm 
already happy with.
