+Advanced Rewrite Plugin
+=======================
+
+The ``advancedrewrite`` plugin lets you easily substitute values
+in your templates and path formats, similarly to the :doc:`/plugins/rewrite`.
+Please make sure to read the documentation of that plugin first.
+
+The *advanced* rewrite plugin doesn't match the rewritten field itself,
+but instead checks if the given item matches a :doc:`query </reference/query>`.
+Only then, the field is replaced with the given value.
+
+To use advanced field rewriting, first enable the ``advancedrewrite`` plugin
+(see :ref:`using-plugins`).
+Then, make a ``advancedrewrite:`` section in your config file to contain
+your rewrite rules.
+
+In contrast to the normal ``rewrite`` plugin, you need to provide a list
+of replacement rule objects, each consisting of a query, a field name,
+and the replacement value.
+
+For example, to credit all songs of ODD EYE CIRCLE before 2023
+to their original group name, you can use the following rule::
+
+    advancedrewrite:
+      - match: "mb_artistid:dec0f331-cb08-4c8e-9c9f-aeb1f0f6d88c year:..2022"
+        field: artist
+        replacement: "이달의 소녀 오드아이써클"
+
+As a convenience, the plugin applies patterns for the ``artist`` field to the
+``albumartist`` field as well. (Otherwise, you would probably want to duplicate
+every rule for ``artist`` and ``albumartist``.)
+
+A word of warning: This plugin theoretically only applies to templates and path
+formats; it initially does not modify files' metadata tags or the values
+tracked by beets' library database, but since it *rewrites all field lookups*,
+it modifies the file's metadata anyway. See comments in issue :bug:`2786`.
+
+As an alternative to this plugin the simpler :doc:`/plugins/rewrite` or
+similar :doc:`/plugins/substitute` can be used.

+The CAA provides pre-sized thumbnails of width 250, 500, and 1200 pixels. If you
+set the `maxwidth` option to one of these values, the corresponding image will

+
+When importing, beets will read several options to configure the visuals of the
+import dialogue. There are two layouts controlling how horizontal space and
+line wrapping is dealt with: ``column`` and ``newline``. The indentation of the
+respective elements of the import UI can also be configured. For example
+setting ``4``  for ``match_header`` will indent the very first block of a
+proposed match by five characters in the terminal::
+
+    ui:

+            indentation:
