I need to convert the filename to title, but I need to remove the first 3 characters from the filename. Does anyone know how to do this?

Perhaps as described in this thread?  
[/t/10467/1](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/10467/1)  
or this one:  
[/t/14926/1](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/14926/1)

try  
%dummy% %title%
