munge_Startcase capitalises numerical shorthand

[alidaf]

munge_Startcase causes numerical shorthand such as 2nd, 3rd, etc. to be converted to 2Nd, 3Rd etc.

Specific example is Muse, The 2nd Law.

Also turns 70s, 80s into 70S and 80S

I'll give this an enhancement label: it's working as planned, but the plan has met reality and needs tweaking

todo: update function to handle specific cases:

• ordinals: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, ..., 9th
• decades: 10s, 20s, 30s, 40s, ..., 90s
• 7Inch, 12Inch.. are they an issue.. I found a couple if tracks but there is space between inch:

101.Red Hot Chili Peppers-Higher Ground (Pearly 12 Inch).flac
Early David Bowie (7 Inch Mono) (UK)

might be more common on dance music with lots of groovy remix titles

• any others?

Awesome.

The only problem I've had with naming "size" versions is when the quotation mark (double apostrophe) is used. Some taggers replace it with two single apostrophes and then do the same with the tags. I'm relatively new to abcde and starting to rip discs that I used to have problems with due to the WB protection. I now have a drive that isn't affected but all of my discs are in storage so coming across other examples will be slow.

When I first started using abcde, literally a few weeks ago, I fell into a similar problem of tags having to match the filename, and case conversion. The brilliance of abcde though is that it is so configurable and I found a way of avoiding it by using the various munges independently for tags (via the mungecddb) and filenames. It is a bit of a learning curve though and the examples in your forked config have helped enormously.

The variability in punctuation was driving me mad, hence the munge_simplify_punctuation function. Off the top of my head, adding something like: sed 's/\'\'/\"/g to munge_simplify_punctuation might cover the case you found.

I'm always happy to hear how it's working for you. Please let us know if you write a conversion that's useful to you.
