One mp3 in an album was missing the artist tag and it got filed under "[Missing]".
I fixed the mp3 file, tried "Clean Library", but the song is still listed under a "missing" artist.
What's the procedure for fixing this?

Rescan using "update music library" should fix this. "Clean Library" only removes deleted files but doesn't update modified ones.
I think all righthtinking people in this country are sick and tired of being told that ordinary, decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

Try renaming the album's root folder to something else temporarily, do a Clean Library action, the album should vanish. Then re-rename it to the proper name, and Scan it for new content.
At the moment there is no easy way to refresh/update music tags. The same goes for videos unfortunately.

Okay, I just tried this.
After renaming the album's root folder and doing a Clean Library, the album disappears as expected, but the top item in the list of Artists is still [Missing]. The list of albums under [Missing] is empty i.e., "..".
By "Scan It", I presume you mean Update Library on the left sidebar. After I did that, the album reappears, but I still see [Missing] in the Artists list.
How do I get rid of this [Missing] at the top of the list of Artists?

That's a weird issue you have there. If [missing] is empty the I'd expect "clean library" would solve the issue... Just a hunch I have, is the setting "Show song and album artists" on or off?
If it's off, the library is not showing all artists and if one of those were [missing], you might end up with an empty [missing] item.
It's a long shot though.
You could start fresh by deleting the entire library file but if the problem is in one of your music files it will probably return. If you've enabled logging, maybe a logfile after a clean library and a full scan might give us a clue at what's going on.
