2) (only if recomputing the values) Select all books in your library. Use bulk metadata edit to clear all values from #vls
3a) Select one of the virtual libraries.
3b) Select all books.
3c) use bulk metadata edit to add the VL name to #vls (tags to add)
3d) repeat 3a - 3c for the remaining virtual libraries
4) Connect CC as a wireless device and let the metadata transfer. It will transfer metadata for all the books on the device.
5) (One time) add #vls to the grouping drawer.

With 5 VLs, this process isn't too terrible. The worst part is that it forces transferring all the metadata.
I've been wondering... What if the story belongs in two different virtual libraries or more?
