Many thanks for, as usual, a very comprehensive reply.
The piece of the puzzle I missed is that if there is an ARTISTS tag, Kodi doesn't add the ARTIST to its list of artists and sticks it only in the song table. Now I understand this is a great feature: I can put ARTISTS "Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky / John Elliot Gardner / Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment" (unlikely combination!) while ARTIST is just "Tchaikovsky, Gardner, Orch. Enlightenment" for display purposes.
