Nice - this needs to work alongside the capitalisation rules in some way.

Maybe at the end of the normal capitalization rule run on a field, a RegEx to search for the prefix pattern and then capitalize?

Yeah - that's one way. In extreme cases (I always think in extreme cases ;-) ) there are also artists who, canonically, capitalise their names in weird ways that a regex cannot predict. Therefor some form on online lookup would be required.

It's always a balance between canonically-correct and what-the-listener-wants...
