Perhaps http://cue.tools/wiki/CUETools_Templates#Track_Format_template can be updated to reflect this variable name exception?
For now I added notation for %album artist% used in Audio and accurip file naming templates.
CUE Paths Output Templates will take a little bit more testing.
Input:
F:\Rock Ballads.cue
Template:
F:\Test[%unique%][\'('1')' %albumartist%][\'('2')' %album artist%]\%filename%[ '('1')' %albumartist%][ '('2')' %album artist%].cue
Audio Filenames:
Single format: %filename%[ - '('1F')' %albumartist%][ - '('2F')' %album artist%]
Track format: %tracknumber% %title%[ - '('1F')' %albumartist%][ - '('2F')' %album artist%]
Log file
Name format: %filename%[' ('%unique%')'][ - '('1L')' %albumartist%][ - '('2L')' %album artist%].accurip
Tested FLAC Tracks to Image, ALBUMARTIST tag "Various Artists"
result
\(1) Various Artists
\Rock Ballads (1) Various Artists - (2F) Various Artists.flac
\Rock Ballads (1) Various Artists - (2L) Various Artists.accurip
\Rock Ballads (1) Various Artists.cue
\Rock Ballads (1) Various Artists.log
\Rock Ballads (1) Various Artists.toc
So only %albumartist% worked in the output template and only %album artist% in the filename and accurip log templates
but when I remove the ALBUMARTIST tag from the FLAC tracks and replace with ALBUM ARTIST tag "Various Artists"
result
\(2) Various Artists
\Rock Ballads (2) Various Artists - (2F) Various Artists.flac
\Rock Ballads (2) Various Artists - (2L) Various Artists.accurip
\Rock Ballads (2) Various Artists.cue
\Rock Ballads (2) Various Artists.log
\Rock Ballads (2) Various Artists.toc
So only %album artist% worked this time in the output template and only %album artist% in the filename and accurip log templates
