Inconsistent formatting of tag metadata?

I spotted this when looking at the Sort worksheet:

It looks like the comma in the Album Artists column has been mistaken for a delimiter and created a 2nd item. Is this a formatting error or would the fix have written to tags or a ; delimited tag to Album Artists (or whatever it maps to when written as a tag)?

I’m seeing exactly the same for all entries in the Album Artists column where the artist name has a comma e.g. Crosby, Stills & Nash

So this is a case where the song was not matched to MusicBrainz, Discogs or Acoustid but at the save stage if we have a value for Album Artist but not Album Artists we try and guess the name for Album Artists and yes here it has mistaken the comma for a delimiter so it would be written as two values, there is not an option to turn off this processing perhaps there should be . I don’t think should remove the feature entirely as usually correct but actually could try searching for the artist on MusicBrainz to find a match and if so not break it up, this would fix the Crosby, Stills & Nash example, raised issue

No such problem when the album has already been matched, i,.e compare

Exactly the approach my scripts take - check it the name is on the canonical list, if it is leave it be.
