Columns UI Filter: Exclude artists without any rated tracks?

Hello. I'm trying to set up my filter panel to show only artists when at least one track by that artist also has a metadata field like %rating%, and not showing artists without any rated tracks. The idea is to keep the list tidy with just my favorite artists, and not the many bands I have 1 track from in a compilation album. If there's not a way to do it with %rating% tags in the files themselves, can it be done via ratings stored in a database like Playback Statistics uses (or via something other than filters)? Thanks for any help!

Title formatting works on a per item basis so the answer is "no" if you're wanting to return all tracks by an artist when only (or at least) one of those tracks is rated.

You could try something like $if(%rating%,%<artist>%) but clicking on that artist will only return those tracks which are rated.

That's what I was afraid of, but you gave me the idea to just throw a rating tag of '0' or something on all nonrated tracks by an artist and use that expression. Thanks!
