When I import the Discogs "Extra artists" field, I get e.g. this:

**Composed By: Russell, Morrison; Lead Vocals: Ringo; Vocals [+]: Paul**

I'd like to extract only the composer(s) and get this:

**Russell; Morrison**

Of course one can assume that the credits are not always in the same order. Also, "Composed By" will sometimes be called "Written By" or something else.

I'm pretty sure which expressions I have to use. It just doesn't quite 'fit' yet. Any ideas?
