Use:

Code:

{title}{series:| - |}{series_index:0>3s| [|]}

Explanation (see http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/temp...ced-formatting for the gory details):

Everything after the ":" is a modifier. The "|stuff|stuff" are prefixes and suffixes for the parent template (in this case, series) -- as you can see, you already have one for series_index.

This allows for making stuff dependent on the parent template existing. So. I simply moved the space and dash to be dependent on the series field not being empty.
