Yes , the chevron is there and I did have the playlists expanded if that is what you are asking.
I did get thru to Apple Support and the problem is solved. We replaced the Musiclibrary.musiclibrary on the iMac with a Time Machine copy and the playlists were restored.

Held down the Option key while starting the Music App and choosing the new Musiclibrary.
