There's no automatic genre re-assignment yet. Genre consolidation is a fairly new area of the product. The normal approach is to get it working reliably and accurately, and then automate it.
The "Fix all visible" is only useful if the genre suggestions are on point. In my database, the suggestions are all over the map. For example, Bliss suggests that I map "Rock" to "Country," "R&B," "Rap," etc.
For my purposes, I use the genre property to identify the spindle on which the CD is stored. I use the naming convention of 1001_Spindle for CDs stored on Spindle 1, 1002_Spindle for CDs stored on Spindle 2. I have 59 spindles of 100 CDs each.

However, I can certainly look at doing this soon.

At least, when I change a GENRE at one time, i would like BLISS to take note and to change all occurences of that unrecognised or bad GENRE.
Thanks.

Yeah, that's a nice idea Jacques... Could have it as a multi choice response - change to X, change all Y albums to X...

You could use "Fix all visible" to at least make this a lot quicker - http://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2015/06/02/new-release-20150522/
