Looking to capitalize the first letter after ( in the TITLE tag field.
For example:
Dance & Shout (epic House Transition) (122-128 BPM)
I would like the "e" in the above title field capitalize.

Create a new action of the type "Case Conversion".
Enter the field (probably TITLE)
Enter all the letters after which you wish to get a capitalized letter, e.g. the blank, the bracket, a comma, a full stop, a hyphen, a semicolon etc.
Select as type "Normal".
Save it,
apply it.

I want to do the same thing making sure any letter/word following an open round bracket is a capital except in the instance of ft. or feat. or featuring ).
Could someone please help me out with this?

As everything is already explained in this post:

I wonder where you got stuck.
But see the FAQs first, esp.

Create an action group.
The first action(s) will be any Case Conversions as described above.
Then create subsequent Replace actions to take care of the exceptions.
Like this:

Thank you for your reply. My confusion comes from the fact that I can't imagine I need to list every word in the English dictionary that I want to capitalise? The only time I don't want a word capitalised if when it is one of those I mentioned.
This is my current action for capitalisation including tags and filename:
> [#0]
> T=1
> F=\_TAG
> 1=1
> 2=
>
> [#1]
> T=4
> F=\_TAG
> 1=\\b(A|An|The|And|But|Or|So|After|Before|Out|When|While|Since|Until|Although|Even If|Because|About|Above|Across|Against|Along|Alongside|As|At|Below|By|During|For|From|In|Into|Of|Off|On|Onto|Over|Than|Through|Till|To|Under|Up|With|Within|Without)\\b
> 2=$lower($1)
> 3=0
>
> [#2]
> T=4
> F=\_TAG
> 1=^\\s\*(\\w+)
> 2=$caps($1)
> 3=0
>
> [#3]
> T=4
> F=\_TAG
> 1=(\\w+)\\s\*$
> 2=$caps($1)
> 3=0
>
> [#4]
> T=1
> F=\_FILENAME
> 1=1
> 2=

Perhaps you find some inspiration with the actions for the Grammartron case conversion:

> Howdy. I've stumbled across [this Action script](http://liquidparallax.com/2007/10/19/mp3tag-actions-empower-your-digital-collection/#titl) that formats all fields to title case. It works very well, except that I would like it to ignore words that are upper-case. For instance, words (or acronyms without periods) like UFO are converted to Ufo. I've left a message for the script's author but have not yet had a reply, so I thought I'd ask the geniuses over here. wink So, any ideas? Also, I'm wondering what similar scripts others here are using, so alternative suggestions are welcome. T…

Thanks for your reply. I am looking through the link now.
At the moment I am still completely lost and wonder if anyone is able to actually let me know what code I would need to incorporate into that I mentioned previously to make this work?
The learning curve is extremely steep on this and I do appreciate your input.
