Syntax for playlist Group scheme, Album + Date ?. Options

[tagtypedisplay]

I display my music within all playlists by grouping by %album%

I would like to display/croup by "album" and "year" problem is with albums that have more than one year in the tags, like various albums, these then displayed fractured, i.e. by tracks with the same album name. very untidy and annoying.

Can someone help me with the syntax to create a way of displaying/grouping by "albums" with the "year" and to ignore the year if there are multiple years in the tags ?.

Thank you.

"Nope, lists all the tracks sequentially without album titles separating the tracks."

What exactly does that mean?
The tracks are grouping but the Grouping lines are blank, OR the tracks are just in a long flat list and the Grouping lines are not showing?
That is a VERY basic Grouping display scheme; there is no reason for it not to work.
I don't even know if you are using "Default UI" or "Columns UI".
Does the field you are pasting that code into accept multiple lines, or do all the lines need to be joined to one line ...like this:

CODE

$if($strstr($lower(%path%),'\various'),$ifequal($len(%album%),0,'%album%',$if2($trim(%album%),'%album%')),$ifequal($len(%album%),0,'%album%',$if2($trim(%album%),'%album%'))'  '$ifequal($len(%date%),0,'(%date%)',$if2('('$trim(%date%)')','(%date%)')))
