Here is a proposal to be used within the Mp3tag filter dialog ...

Files with tag fields only from the list:  
`ARTIST ALBUMARTIST ALBUM TRACK TITLE COMPOSER YEAR GENRE`

```auto
"$regexp($regexp($list(' ~~','~~','=='),'~~(.+?)~~.+?==','$1~~'),'((ARTIST|ALBUMARTIST|ALBUM|TRACK|TITLE|COMPOSER|YEAR|GENRE)~~)',)" IS ""

```

All files with additional tag fields in addition to those in the list ...

```auto
NOT ("$regexp($regexp($list(' ~~','~~','=='),'~~(.+?)~~.+?==','$1~~'),'((ARTIST|ALBUMARTIST|ALBUM|TRACK|TITLE|COMPOSER|YEAR|GENRE)~~)',)" IS "")

```

If someone needs an indicator in the listview, which displays only the existence of other tag-field names, more than the basic set of tag-field names, then it can be done with this formatstring ...

```auto
$iflonger($regexp($regexp($list(' ~~','~~','=='),'~~(.+?)~~.+?==','$1~~'),'((ARTIST|ALBUMARTIST|ALBUM|TRACK|TITLE|COMPOSER|YEAR|GENRE)~~)',),0,'●',)

```
