-PLEASE NOTE: Tagger scripts are required to make use of these hidden
-variables.
+PLEASE NOTE: Once the plugin is installed, it automatically makes these 
+variables available to File Naming Scripts and other scripts in Picard. 
+Like other variables, you must mention them in a script for them to affect 
+the file name or other data.

+This plugin is no longer being maintained. 
+Consider switching to the 
+[Additional Artists Variables plugin](https://github.com/rdswift/picard-plugins/tree/2.0/plugins/additional_artists_variables), 
+which fills this 
+role, and also includes additional variables. That other plugin uses different 
+names for the album artist names provided here, so you if you switch plugins, you
+will need to update your scripts with the different names.
