## Coerce to a compositional matrix
Y <- as_composition(X)

## Split by group
## /!\ Unassigned samples are discarded ! /!\
(s1 <- split(Y, f = X$groups))

## Split by group
## Keep unassigned samples, see help(factor)
(s2 <- split(Y, f = factor(X$groups, exclude = NULL)))

## Bind by rows
do.call(rbind, s2)
