Creating a virtual library according how many books by author

Hi, it's me again. In this opportunity I have 2 questions. The first one is about the title of this post. I want to create a virtual library (or category) only with authors, by example, with at least 10 books. How can i do that?

And the second question is about part of the first one. Where I can learn about the commands, functions, variables, etc.? So, by this way, not only I can learn, but also I can develop my own solutions and, maybe, could help others.

Please, sorry my grammar (if I made mistakes, please correct me to learn)
Regards from Lima, Perú

You really do not need a VL for this.

In the Tag Browser each Author (Series,Publisher) has a count next to their name

In addition, If you use the 'Alter Tag Browser" (or your locale name) button at the bottom of the Tag Browser. Set it to: 'Sort by number of books' and the 'Authors' list will now blocks of numbers (descending)
If you see the same range more than once, you have a 'Partition Rule' that breaks them up. This is not a problem.

Thanks for answer, but I really want to create a VL only with no less 10 books per author. The solution that you show me, works of course, but it's not efficient for me, because I must change the sort of the list every time I need to found a specific author. For that reason I want to create a VL with a specific rule (by example, author with no less 10 books but not more than 20).

Thanks again. I hope you can help me.

Try my Author Book Count plugin. The "standard" ABC column is "like tags", and supports full tag-browser-like functionality. It also supports an optional "integer" custom column that can be used to do arithmetic comparisons on.

((#abc_numeric:">9") and (#abc_numeric:"<21"))

Thank you very much, worked perfectly. However I have a question, why some icons opaque appearing opaque icons and other only half opaque? See the capture. And certainly, these icons like as Roman columns,what's mean?

Thank you very much again.
