extract and copy a part of a tag into another tag?

Is MP3Tag capable of extracting a certain part of a tag, and copy it to another tag?

I have titles such as:
Cello Sonata No.1 in E minor, Op.38 › I. Allegro non troppo

I want the part before ' › ' to be copied in a custom tag named 'Composition',
and the part after ' › ' copied to a custom tag named 'Movement'.

So 'Composition' tag becomes: Cello Sonata No.1 in E minor, Op.38
and 'Movement' tag becomes: I. Allegro non troppo
(title tag is not to be changed)

I found an action called "split field by seperator", but I think this can only split to multiple fields in the same tag?

tia!

Yes, that's a main feature of Mp3tag.

Create an action (quick at once or permanent) ...

Begin Action Group Test_2012#20120626.jistme.Guess

Action #1
Actiontype 7: Import tag fields (guess values)
Source format __: %TITLE%
Guessing pattern: %COMPOSITION% › %MOVEMENT%

End Action Group Test_2012#20120626.jistme.Guess (1 Action)

Begin Action Group _Script Test#TEST

Action #1 Actiontype 7: Import tag fields (guess values) Source format __: %title% Guessing pattern: %composition% › %movement%

End Action Group _Script Test#TEST (1 Action)
