Been using navidrome for years, and I'm excited about implementing multi-library support. I have a ton of music and I want to create a personal library that is only a subset of artists from the parent library. I don't want to copy the files (this would be hundreds of GB) so I symlinked artists folders. This works for the most part, however playlists do not. They show up in my personal library but are empty. I'm having a difficult time figuring out my options. Has anyone wrestled with this yet? Thanks!

Yeah, I tried it with another user that had explicit access to both libraries and still couldn't get it to work. If I create a playlist and add songs from the child library I cannot see those songs when the parent library is enabled, and vice versa. Of course when both libraries are enabled I can see the songs.
