Elisa failing to group songs with multiple artists specified

SUMMARY
Currently, when a song has multiple artists in its metadata, Elisa treats it as a single artist name. Because of that, it fails to show the tracks under each of the artists separately.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0
Qt Version: 6.7.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
For example, Elisa shows in my library theese artists:
 - Brian Tyler
 - Brian Tyler, Keith Power
 - Brian Tyler, Slash


POSSIBLE SOLUTION
I've seen some other players (eg. Oto Music for Android) solving this by letting users define separators in settings, by which artist names in the artists field of the song are separated in case of multiple artists.
