If you simply want to change case of tags and filenames, please see the action "Case Conversion" as described here:

> How to change upper/lower case of tag fields or filenames? Create a [new action](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/actions/967/2) in an existing action group and choose Case conversion as action type. Field determines which parts of the tags/filename should be changed. Case conversion determines how the upper/lower case of the field will be changed. If you want for example mark chars after a left parenthesis or a hyphen as the begin of a word, enter the respective char under Words begin from/after any of.

If you really want to use a scripting function like `$caps2`, you'd need to use either an action "Format value" or use it while renaming the file from the tag with the converter "Tag - Filename".

However, you'd need to use `$caps2(%title%,'.')` so that the dot is treated as separator character.
