OPAC "Brief display" problems

The brief (or normal) display in OPAC seems to cause us a lot of headache. First of all there is the thing with 110a field, which isn't shown as author (By), this would be really important to us since we're a music library and we have a lot of authors (bands and such) in 110a field.

The there is a issue with 5xx fields. Sometimes Koha shows all the 5xx fields we need (500, 505, 511), but sometimes it only shows 500, or 500 and 505, but not 511. How can this be fixed?

Added entries also seem to be a problem. Brief display only shows the last added entry of a personal name, even if there would be more of them. Added entries of corporate names are never shown. Again , as a music library we use these fields a lot and we really need them to be shown in OPAC also.

MARC-display of course shows all the fields as it should, but we can't reasonably expect our clients to learn to read MARC... We really need a more clear output. Any suggenstions?

Have you tried turning ON the XSLT sysprefs?

This system runs Koha 2, XSLT is present in Koha 3 only, right? Will it be a big job if we upgrade the system from Koha 2.2.9 to Koha 3?
