Been Reading the Manual - Do all Tags Have to be Tags: []?

What if I want three categories of tags? mood, genre, instrumentation?

tags: [“Funk”,“Energetic”,“Guitar”,“Bass”,“Drums”,“Synths”] Is this correct?

kind of working

but I thought they would automatically match to other songs!

The Related Items component can fetch other items by matching tags or author. In your case you’ll want to match by tags, so it pulls in other songs with the same tags.

Fetching items based on custom frontmatter (genre, mood, instrumentation) isn’t supported yet, but it’s a feature we’d like to add 🙂

Thanx again Ben, appreciate the response… will look in the morning…

Not sure i understand…. Do I have to add code?

Or will elements create links to content via tags?

Thanx
