Don't know if this is with all uses of "-" but when I was playing Metallica's S&M and the song "- Human" came on, on the title at the top didn't contain the - at the top.

Is it actually in the [Name] field?
If you are expecting to see it because it is in the file name, MC may have removed it as part of the import process.
If it isn't in the [Name] field just add it back in.

I see it just fine here.

It is in the name field. Weird that it's showing for Awesome Donkey.

Actually, it seems that if I put the title at the end of the title display, it shows right, but if I put it at the start like previously pictured, it shows incorrectly. (https://i.imgur.com/2Qdl1qx.png)
But I prefer it showing how I previously had it.

I should have looked at the details section of your image, where the [Name] field is shown. ::) at me.
MC is doing some automatic cleanup by the look. Even changing the Display Title area to use the [Name] field literal, using [Name, 0] still trims the "- " from the front of the name. In fact, I can't find any way to force Mc to retain the "- ".
Maybe someone else can work out how to display it. Although it is a bit of a Corner Case. It's not very common to have what is essentially punctuation at the beginning of a Track name.

It isn't a huge issue, just a nitpick, but would be nice to have it properly shown.

We call JRString::CleanFilledTemplate which does this:
// cut off a leading "- " if it exists (don't just trim left a minus because negative numbers aren't uncommon)
I think cleaning the filled templates is probably good because it fixes problems.
So I would say this is just the way it is.

You may be able to work-around their logic by using a different Unicode character that resembles "-".
For example:

The above is different from the standard ANSI "-". This is Unicode character 02D7.
You may launch charmap.exe, find this character, copy it to the clipboard, then paste replacing the standard "-".
If this still does not work and their logic even strips this away, find another character similar to it and replace with the next one.

Since the Proper Title "- Human (Live)" is in the Name Field/Tag does it really matter that MC is "trimming" the Name in the Player Bar. Given that any alteration to the Tag, to get MC to display "- Human (Live)" in the payer bar could, and probably will, result in a Non-Match if you did an Internet Search using the Modified Track Name as one of the search parameters.

Odd that it's not trimming it for me.

Take note that you need a space after it as well. So -Human won't trim, but - Human would. In my library, it's called Minus Human :)

Hmmmm, there is a space (the track name for it in my library is - Human (Live)) and it's not trimming it for me. Maybe I'm just lucky.
-
It only trims if the line starts with those characters. So if you've got something else before, they would also be left alone.

I bought it from Metallica's site and it came with the title "- Human (Live)," so I guess I'll just deal with it then.
