Problem with creating multiple values in tags

I'm having a problem with entering multiple values in the new properties window. I am seperating the values with a semi-colon, but half the time foobar doesn't read this as a multiple value, it will just output the semi-colon with the rest of the data.

For instance I'll enter into a tag: Singer/Songwriter; Alternative Pop/Rock; Pop/Rock

Sometimes it recognizes they're multiple values and parses them as such, sometimes it doesn't and will read the entire line as one value. My solution when this happens is to use the masstagger to split the value at the semi-colon,  but it shouldn't be happening in the first place unless I'm doing something wrong (which I'm not aware of).

My preferred tagging scheme is set to ID3v2 only.

Check in foobar: file>preferences>Advanced>Display>Properties Dialog>Multivalue Fields and add "STYLE" or what you need.
It's very simple!!!

And what should I do to make Library Filter show the tags separately?

Now it is like this:
-Rock, Acoustic
-Rock
-Pop, Acoustic
-Pop
-Indie
-Acoustic

I want it like this:
Like this:
-Rock
-Pop
-Indie
-Acoustic

I know there is a pretty simple (only one syntax I think) code for this, as I used it before I had to reinstall foobar. I remember I found it after a long time searching the last time, but now I can't find it anywhere...


The tag is set to multiple values, and the values in the tag is separated by ";"

also, regarding the original question, if you are using the Tag Panel in Mp3Tag to create multiple values in a specific tag you need to use \\
Examples:
Singer/Songwriter\\Alternative Pop/Rock\\Pop/Rock
Post-Grunge\\Alternative Pop/Rock\\Pop Underground
Pop/Rock\\Alternative Pop/Rock

But that thread doesn't help me? I use library filter, not the album list, so "%<tag>%" doesn't work.
