Answer 1

Answer is no. Your collections folder must be at the root of your root folder.

Even if you name you create a collection in _collections/_music folder, and set it up like this :

collections:

  collections/_music folder:
    output: true

Jekyll ends up looking for your collection in _collections_music folder (without any slash) because of path sanitize process.

See jekyll code in collection.rb, site.rb and jekyll.rb
