A work around might be to use APE tags on these mp3 files, and set APE priority in advancedsettings, then add
PERFORMER tags formatted John Smith, Jr (guitar). I think you can just use PERFORMER and Kodi would ignore TMCL and TIPL but I would need to experiment unless Dave knows off the top of his head. Looking at the code it looks like TMCL and TIPL both call an AddArtistRole method while PERFORMER calls AddArtistInstrument so I suspect you need to delete TMCL and TIPL tags if you want to use just the APE PERFORMER, otherwise you get the union of the parsed artists, roles and instruments (stored as roles in Kodi db). Note also PERFORMER allows one-to-many artist to instrument mapping, using delimited list in (a,b) with delimiters ";", "/", ",", "&", " and ".
