When I select the button FILENAME - TAG the syntax is %title%
But this just does a direct copy.
What would the syntax be to copy just the name only, for example
01 - Song One.mp3 --\> Song One
or
01 Song Two.mp3 --\> Song Two
Thanks

You could try this Format string:
`%track% - %title%`
or
`%track% %title%`
If you don't want to save the track number, you can also use
`%dummy%` instead of `%track%` and the number will be ignored.
