FLAC and Cuesheet comment

I've converted my CD's to a single flac file per CD with an embedded cuesheet.  I use the flac (flac.exe) executable to convert and embed the cuesheet from the .wav file.  I use foobar2k to tag the file.

The problem that I'm having is that some of my CD's are classical with multiple composers.  When I update the file and re-import the .flac file into foobar2k, the composer tag is lost.  It seems that the composer tag is on a per-file basis.

When I use metaflac to dump the metadata,  the composer tag is in one of the comments:

Code: [Select]
LASTTRACK=1
ALBUM=Also Sprach Zarathustra
DISCID=9c118e0c
COMPOSER=Strauss, Richard
ARTIST=Herbert Karajan
date=2000
genre=Classical
cuesheet=PERFORMER "Herbert Karajan"
   TITLE "Also Sprach Zarathustra"
   REM REPLAYGAIN_ALBUM_GAIN -1.44 dB
   REM REPLAYGAIN_ALBUM_PEAK 0.999938
   FILE "Karajan-Also_Sparch_Zarathustra(1959,1961).flac" WAVE
     TRACK 01 AUDIO
       TITLE "Also sprach Zarathustra - I. Einleitung"
       PERFORMER "Herbert Karajan"
       INDEX 01 00:00:00
       REM DATE 2000
       REM GENRE Classical
       REM REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_GAIN -4.56 dB
       REM REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_PEAK 0.999938

Shouldn't all of the meta data be a comment associated with the track?  So this would look like:

Code: [Select]
cuesheet=PERFORMER "Herbert Karajan"
   REM REPLAYGAIN_ALBUM_GAIN -1.44 dB
   REM REPLAYGAIN_ALBUM_PEAK 0.999938
   FILE "Karajan-Also_Sparch_Zarathustra(1959,1961).flac" WAVE
     TRACK 01 AUDIO
       TITLE "Also sprach Zarathustra - I. Einleitung"
       PERFORMER "Herbert Karajan"
       INDEX 01 00:00:00
       REM DATE 2000
       REM GENRE Classical
       REM REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_GAIN -4.56 dB
       REM REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_PEAK 0.999938
       REM LASTTRACK 1
       REM COMPOSER Strauss, Richard
       REM ALBUM Also Sprach Zarathustra
       REM DISCID 9c118e0c
