I have a lot of “albums” where only one or two tracks actually exist in my collection. In that case, I’m thinking it makes more sense to place them directly under the “Artist” folder rather than the typical “Artist/Album” location, and to omit the track number. For a rule, maybe something along the lines of “if less than 25% of the album is present, save the tracks directly under the Artist” (or possibly with different rules for shorter albums such as 12" singles or EPs).
Something like:
I was looking into custom naming scripts, but in order to apply my rule I think I need a bit of additional information. Basically, I need the number of tracks actually present on the album (or possibly a “percent complete” number). I also looked into writing a plugin that would add a variable for that information, but I wasn’t sure how to approach that. I can figure out how to make a plugin and a script, but I’m not sure what data is available and when, in order to tie the tracks to the albums.
Has anyone done something like this already? Any advice on a general approach I could take to accomplish this?

Something like:
Code:
> Artist
> Artist > Album 1
> Artist > Album 1 > 01 Track 1
> Artist > Album 1 > 02 Track 2
etc.

> Artist > Lonely Track 1
