You propose:
beet modify onplayer=true artist:Bach
Shouldn't it be:
beet modify artist:Bach onplayer=true ?
According to the beets documentation, the QUERY should precede the modification:
beet modify [-MWay] [-f FORMAT] QUERY [FIELD=VALUE...] [FIELD!...]
Despite the command documentation beet allows you to specify query and modifications in any order. That means the command in the Readme is perfectly fine.
