If you want to convert from filename to tag-fields, then see there:  
[Converter](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/8016/3)

See also another practical usage for the converter when foldernames are involved too:  
[Extracing ID3 information (artist, title, etc) from file name](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/12056/2)

If you want to convert from one tag-field to multiple tag-fields, then you can use the action "Guess values".  
Source Format:  
%TITLE%  
Formatstring:  
%DISC%-%TRACK% %ALBUM% - %TITLE%  
or maybe ...  
%DISCNUMBER%-%TRACK% %ALBUM% - %TITLE%

If you do not need the ALBUM value, then you may use this formatstring:  
%DISCNUMBER%-%TRACK% %DUMMY% - %TITLE%
