When you use the Case change to , changes are not made after an opening bracket '('.  
For example,

> The worrying thing (about me)

becomes

> The Worrying Thing (about Me)

But how can you force the capitalisation after '(', so that you get:

> The Worrying Thing (About Me)

? Thanks

To make it clear: ampersand is **&**

How do you do the case changing?  
Function? Action? What action? What function?  
See Mp3tag manual, the functions $caps(), $caps2(), $caps3() allow a second parameter for modifying the case changing behaviour.

Yes, sorry I corrected the ampersand reference.  
I am using Actions\>Case Conversion, but I can't see anything in that section about beyond the basic conversions.

Action: Case conversion  
Field: Title  
Case conversion: Mixed case  
Words begin from/after any of:   
Note: In the dialog's edit field type in the keys, which are named in angle brackets.

Many thanks for that. Where would I have found it in the Manual?
