$caps and multi-value tags

I have multiple Artist tags on many tracks, and multiple upper-case ArtistSort tags to match.  I am using the Album List view and have configured several filters.  One of these filters on each and every artist.  To that end I want to use the %<artist>% and sometimes %<artistsort>% constructs.

If I write:

Code: [Select]
$caps%<artistsort>%

Some, although not all, artistsort tags have the first character in lower case. The same happens if I use %<artist>% .

If I write:

Code: [Select]
$caps(%artistsort%)

Then all artistsort tags are shown correctly, but I get multiple artistsorts on each line, which I don't want. The same happens if I use %artist%

This would seem to be a problem with $caps (and maybe other functions?) processing multi-value tags.

I have set these two tags (amongst others) to be multi-value tags in the advanced, display, properties-dialog setting.

Alas, you are absolutely correct. See this topic for some more information.
