iTunes 12.5.1.21: Work and Movement tags aren't working as expected

Question

iTunes 12.5.1.21: Work and Movement tags aren't working as expected

So I've been using the new Work and Movement tags on my Classical tracks:

But when playing the tracks, they show the Song listing instead of the Work + Movement listing.

If iTunes was working properly, the Bach track should appear as "JS Bach BWV 1046: Brandenburg Concerto No. 1 in F major - I. Allegro. Instead it's displaying the Song version of the track name.

I'm playing the tracks in Album mode, which as far as I can find out, is the only mode in which the new tags should display, but they're not showing up!

Any suggestions as to how to get this to work?

I, too, am excited, but puzzled by iTunes new support for Classical tracks.

For example, when importing a CD, I edit the track names on the CD before Importing. From there, I can enter Work Name, but can't click into the movement number or name fields. Is that a bug or a feature?

And then -- to your point, should we be deleting the Song name?

And is there going to be a conversion feature for our existing music or do we need to write/find a script?

Will some of this change with Sierra?
