<'Field'@n> has a very useful feature. It uses the 'ignore prefixes' option.
But that only seem to work in the <artist> and <album artist> fields. It does not work in <original artist> or <album> field, for example.
Some people uses as a workaround the following code:
$if(<Album:4>=The ,$mid(<Album>,5,1)
But that only works with "The", and creating a new string for every single prefix is far from practical.
Will be great if <'Field'@n> behaves equally across all fields.
<'Field'@n> Should behave equally with all fields

You have $RemovePrefix(<Album>), however I see no way to use it with @.

$RemovePrefix(<Album>) is also very useful, but if i want to build a directory structure like C:\C\The Crow i have to use something like $if(<Album:4>=The ,$mid(<Album>,5,1),
and then if i want to use C:\D\A Different Story, i will have to create another mask, and so on for every prefix.
I tried <$RemovePrefix(<Album>)@1> it does not work.
It would be much more easy if <'Field'@n> ignored prefixes in all fields.

No, but then the following will work: $Left($RemovePrefix(<Album>),1)
