Choosing directories searched by GNOME Music app

The GNOME "Music" app says it searches my Music folder (e.g. it says this in the message you see when the directory is empty). However it does not follow symbolic links inside ~/Music/ to other directories. I already have a hierachy of music files. I can't sym-link ~/Music to the root of my hierarchy, because that includes duplicates (different codecs). Nor can I point it at a single sub-directory that contains all the files I want, without using symlinks. Is there a way to support the existing hierarchy, that doesn't involve writing a script to copy gigabytes of music files? gnome-music-3.24.2-1.fc26.x86_64
