Composite Tags

Composite Tags

The values of the composite tags are Derived From the values of other tags. These are convenience tags which are calculated after all other information is extracted. Only a few of these tags are writable directly, the others are changed by writing the corresponding Derived From tags. User-defined Composite tags, also useful for custom-formatting of tag values, may created via the .
