Ok so just a bunch of Genre tags.

Try adding the Name tag to the file. It has to be spelled Name and not NAME or name AFAIK.

Btw what tag editor are u using?

Okay, so I used metaflac (part of the flac command-line set) to add a new Vorbis comment line

Code:

$ metaflac --set-tag="NAME=Schubert: String Quartet No 14 in D minor 'Death and the Maiden', D810" new-test-multi-genre.flac

$ metaflac --list new-test-multi-genre.flac
...
comment[17]: NAME=Schubert: String Quartet No 14 in D minor 'Death and the Maiden', D810
...

Started playing it in MPD

Code:

OK MPD 0.20.0

OK

Note that MPD seems to deal with tag-name capitalization in a sane manner. 

I've also used EasyTAG (turns out I can configure it to "split lines" to avoid the problem I saw before trying to save multiple genre tags) and Mp3tag (the Windows program that is, loaded into PlayOnLinux on my laptop, not the command-line program mp3tag which comes as part of the Linux mp3blaster package and which recognizes only mp3 files), and MusicBrainz Picard.

Neither EasyTAG nor Mp3tag displays this new NAME tag with their default settings. Mp3tag lets me define a new tag type NAME (and even to display it as "Composition") and then for each file will display the tag and allow me to edit it. I haven't figured out how to add new tag types in EasyTAG.

Right out of the box, MusicBrainz Picard displays the new NAME tag in my file and allows me to edit it. I haven't used MBP enough to know if it let's me define new tag types or only detects the tags actually present in a file.
