"Preferred if possible filter" in the matchlist

How can I realize a "preferred if possible filter" in the matchlist? For example: At the moment I can say which rating I like and if there is no song with this rating the matchlist will be empty. But how can I say which rating I prefer, so, that the matchlist contains all songs with this rating and other songs, if there is no song with this rating?

    As of now, I can't think of a way to achieve exactly what you have in mind.

    Sorry,

    Okay, I try to explain it one more in other words:

    For example, I have a seed song with which 75 songs will be match if I
    ignore the rating. 5 of this 75 songs have a rating, 70 not.

    Now I like to get a match list with 20 songs.

    At the moment there are two ways:

    1. I set the rating filter at least to 1/2. In that case my match list
    will contains the 5 songs with a rating, but only these 5 songs.

    2. I don't use the rating filter. In that case my match list will
    contains 20 songs, but it is not sure that the list contains all of the
    rated songs.

    In contrast to this possibilities I need a match list with the selected
    number of songs AND it must be sure, that ALL songs with a rating are
    within (like a command like "give me all songs with a rating an fill up
    with other songs).

    I hope, now it will be more understandable and say sorry and thank you
    for the efforts.

    I think I understand what you want, but beaTunes can't do exactly what you want... That said, have you tried using a seed song with the desired rating and a strong similar rating rule? That way, songs with similar ratings are preferred (they don't have to have the exact same rating).
