Well, what an utter mess this whole naming thing seems to be, not helped as Chris says by freedb not having any consistency at all. Classical music is further confused by artist/album/composition/section issues.
I've now finally worked out a scheme that I like, simplified by only caring about how Volumio displays things. I don't want long track names including the artist and album name as it's unsightly. I've settled on the following fields, ensuring that they are accurate before ripping but also using the recommended mp3tag application to tidy things up.
CD Title (the name of the album or composition) CD Artist (the main artist or composer or Various)
Title %tracknr2%. %title% (for modern works) Title %tracknr2%. %composition% - %title% (for classical where there is more than one composition)
This displays nicely and allows me to identify what it is without unnecessary repetition. I dare say it won't suit anyone else.
