Setting multiple folders to the same set of Column detail settings

I have a folder called Music, under this are several levels of categorisation
of my music files. When I display any of these sub folders in explorer I want
the same set of columns, showing Bit Rate, Filename, Duration, Artist, Album,
Date, and whatever as per my own choice. I can laboriously go through the
hundreds of folders and set these columns, but how can I do this
automatically? I cannot use the option to set all folders to be like the one
I have customised for music as I do not want all of my computer's files
displayed like this, only the ones under the folder called Music. I could do
with a function "Apply this folder's settings to all subfolders" but that is
not there. I could imagine making a custom template which contains the
settings, but that function does not appear to exist. Is there a way of doing
this, what would appear to me to be common and normal, task?

Answered in .customize.

Better to cross-post than multipost. Then the reply from one group shows up in all.

I would only the interface provided did not reveal that facility.
