Yes, I just gave up and set up a Playlist for each Composer in 
RhythmBox, which already treats the composer as the 'Artist', I suppose 
because that is the tree structure I use.

  I quickly read your instructions for Quodlibet. The fact that one has 
to go through such steps is, I think, adequate evidence that the UIi 
needs some re-thinking. But I have already trashed the program. When I 
cannot get a program to do a thing which it clearly must do, but that 5 
or 6 different methods or attempts fail to work, then, 'the fault lies 
not in us'....And it's gone! Forever!

Why yes, I do have a low irritation threshold for this sort of thing!
