One issue about "custom nodes" is that the main menu does not reflect changes to the deafult nodes (in our case "music") unless you make additional manual changes that get wiped out once the skin get updated.

Some skins have made changes to allow this, but most have not. Particularly, my beloved Transparency! is not supporting this. Some more context and feature request below:

I am curious how others have solved the issue?

Need someone with more knowledge about skins to comment. I do know that skin support for Kodi features varies (and that it is down to the designer what they implement). Checking the skin comparison wiki http://kodi.wiki/view/Skin_features_compatibility_list that says that Transparency does support custom home items, but is that wrong?

For new features the core code has to change first, and then skinners may implement changes. I had thought that custom nodes had been around for enough versions to become generally available, not so good if that isn't true. I can have some input in the system default skin (Confluence), and hope that a test version of the song info dialog will be available soon to go with my build. But other skins are down to the skinner.
