<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">When transcribing the imprint "St. Paul's Church-yard" in sentence case, I notice many catalogers convert/retain the lowercase y in yard. Is the idea here that we do not capitalize the latter parts of a hyphenated compound word even when
it's part of a proper noun? I'm having trouble identifying the guiding principle here. Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
