Adding "Album Artist" tag into my expression

I searched the forums for the solution to this, though was unable to locate the answer. Loving filebot so far, just trying to fine tune it for my music. I am quite happy to update my own ID3 tags - just want to be able to manipulate the naming conventions with Filebot in a manner that keeps my file structure clean ie:
//Music/Album Artist/Album/track number - Song title.

Using the standard expression:

//Music/{n}/{album+'/'}{pi.pad(2)+' - '}{t}

Though I would like to remove the {n} as songs can have different artists or a combination or artists in my tags - Though the album artist will maintain the integrity of my file structure. Will ensure once I automate my fileserver that this stays elegant.

Is this possible?

{n} is the same as {albumArtist} and if that's not defined then it'll default to {artist}.

Looks like Album/Performer wasn't parsed from the tags when using ID3Lookup. That's fixed with r2550.
