According to wikipedia for "Underscore", such a thing does not exist.
1. There is a hypen and a minus (same thing, shortest length)
2. There are 4 dashes of varying lengths, the shortest of which is longer than a hyphen/minus (about the length of 2 hypens)
3. And a single underscore. The length is the shortest of the dashes but in the bottom position.
To make a long story short, its purpose is as a leading separator for Folder tag ID info. It needs to be a character that doesn't
get ignored and cause the second character (first letter) to be capitalized using "capitalize with exceptions" when running RFR add-on.
Periods and no space hyphens are ignored and IDs like "ep", ".lv", "-xb" get the first letters capitalized as such "-Xb".
The underscore does not get ignored (but goes unchanged), leaving what it detects as the second letter (actually the first) in lowercase.
That is a good thing. However, when used as a lead off next to an album or title, it's just a bit ugly/awkward looking. "Back in Black _lv"
Anyway, I think I'll just use that. It's looking better the more I look at it and a couple of spaces in between helps the looks.
It also works better when used in searching. The period is ignored and the hyphen negates the query, as expected
