Normal topicA "Replace" starter pack

When I have a large classical box set, the title field is usually populated by Gracenote or similar in ways that disagree with me.

For example, it may have:

"No. 1" where I prefer "No.1"

"Op. 57" where I would have "Op.57"

"D minor" whereas for me it would be "Dm"

"B-flat minor" & "Bbm"

"C-sharp major" & "C#" etc. etc.

Sometimes major & minor are capitalised, I like a lower case "i" on "in" ("in Dm"), sometimes the have hyphens, sometimes they don't & so on.

There are many examples & many variations.

At the moment I have do do them one by one with the Replace function.

What would be really cool is an action I can customize & add to over time with a list of "find this & change it to this" items. I can manually populate it, as I remember or discover new things that need changing & just run the action once over the Title field of a big box set to catch most of these kinds of things.

I'm away until tomorrow evening, so I won't be around to clarify anything until then.

Yate supports replacement sets. Settings - Replacements. Each set consists of items which have a from and to field.

The sets are easy to use when renaming or in the MFE by using the Case panel. You can always set the Case function to No Change and enable Do replacements.

When creating your replacement set you can make it the default or target it to renaming or the Case function. I recommend making your set the default Case replacement set.

You can add whatever you'd like into the set.

The next release of Yate will allow regular expression items in a replacement set as well as the current simple text items.
