When I try to edit the title or artist and it's just to capitalize or lowercase a letter it switches right back. It recognizes a suggestion in the drop down and I can't change it. I just upgraded to Big Sur.

Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities Cat_M_87,
You can edit the metadata of songs in the Music app using the steps outlined in the Apple Support article Change song and CD information in Music on Mac - Apple Support.
If you have music from Apple Music or iTunes Match, you may not be able to edit the metadata of tracks, as this information comes from the Apple Music catalogue, and a third-party service called Gracenote, automatically.
Best.

The same set of letters with different casing isn't recognized as a new value. You need to make two edits, e.g.
The band
The BandX
The Band

Autocomplete might well be a factor too. You might be able to select and overtype the correct case after autocomplete has matched a value for you, but when typing it is always going to try to match to existing values as you go, which can undo any correction you've made as you fill in the whole value.

Did you even read my question? I know how to get to the place were you can edit the information as was made obvious in my question. When i attempt to edit the information it doesn’t allow me to in some instances. Again as was made obvious in my question. The question was why can’t i change the upper and lowercase letters. Example the artist is displayed as “guns n roses” when Attempt to make input “Guns N Roses’ it reverts to the latter. It appears in the drop down menu when I begin to type it and automatically selects it. How do I stop the automatic selection?
Ok. Thank you for that. I did figure that much out while trying to make the edit stick. That's strange though. I thought it may have been related to autocorrecct.
