System Events Error and the Fix
It can happen that Accessibility permissions you have previously given an applet are lost. In such a case, you may see this message:
System Events got an error: 'Some Applet' is not allowed assistive access. (-1719).
Here's how to fix it.
1) Quit the applet
2) Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy and click on Accessibility in the left sidebar.
3) Look for the name of the applet in the list. If it's checked, UN-check it, wait a moment* and then check it again. Launch the applet.
(*I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to WAIT. It may appear as though your clicks are not working. Just wait.)
4) If this does not work: quit the applet. Go back to Accessibility in System Preferences.
5) Use the minus button to remove the applet from the list.
6) Launch the applet. Eventually it will appear again in the Accessibility list. Make sure it gets check marked.
7) If this does not work: quit the applet. Delete the applet from the list as in 5) but this time drag the applet from the Finder into the list. Go to 6).
One of these methods will eventually work. It's a fragile thing for some reason.

UPDATED: This Tag That Tag v6.1
This applet will assist with swapping, copying, and appending data between two user-chosen tags in selected tracks or tracks in the selected playlist:
Swap - swap data between tags, ex: ARTIST<->COMPOSER

Append - append data from one tag to the end of another, ex: ARTIST->COMPOSER - ARTIST
Prepend - append data from one tag to the beginning of another, ex: ARTIST->ARTIST - COMPOSER
The latter three actions also provide an option to delete the info from the first tag after the copy. Read Me explains all.

UPDATED: De-Genre v5.0
This script re-assigns the tracks of selected Genres to another Genre, ostensibly so that the original--and consequently any un-assigned-Genres--disappear from the Music app's Genre pop-up list. Of course, it can also be used simply to batch-edit Genres without having to assemble the tracks first.
As you may know, you can make superfluous Genres vanish from the Genre pop-up list simply by eliminating a reference to them in your tracks; when no tracks are assigned to a particular Genre, that Genre will be dropped. (Note however that Music's original Genre names cannot be removed this way; only those accumulated from other sources or created by you.)
