--- Comment #2 from bnilsson11 at gmail.com ---
Thank you for the info.
If I use ”Edit” for the tag ”Arranger” and select UTF-16, then add the name
text and save, then the RED error goes away.
I cannot enter the name of the arranger directly in the tag area together with
the other tags in the complete tag view.

My general comment about this is that I am surprised that this knowledge of the
level of technical detail is required bu the GUI user.
The GUI user wants to tag the track with the information available, that is
all.
I would assume that technical details like this should be handled ”behind the
scenes” in the software.
