The "song_artist" table has the conductor added as idRole 4 and strArtist is correct in the table. Viewing the music library in Estuary, navigating to roles -> conductors and the view is empty. (musicdb://artists/?role=Conductor).

I don't understand why the dependency on album_artist.idArtist? None of the conductors are album artists.

By default the global albumartistonly flag (inverse of the incorreclty named "Include artists that onlt appear on compilations" setting) is obyed. So if your artists node shows only album artists then the conductor list shows only conductors that are also album artists. This setting can also be localy overridden by custom node with

<path>musicdb://artists/?role=Conductor&albumartistsonly=false</path>

that will show all conductors.

The use of albumartistsonly option also works in any artist nodes, so you could have a custom node to show song artists and another just album artists.
