I just purchased a Kindle, and I wish to have the title of each book include not only the series name, but also the over-arching meta series name and index, if available. For example:

The book "Rogue Squadron" is book one of the series "X-Wing", which is itself a part of the meta-series "Star Wars". I would like the title to appear as "Star Wars: X-Wing - 01 - Rogue Squadron". I have created a custom field in Calibre titled "Meta Series" which holds the data "Star Wars". I'd want to be sure that the colon or dash marks don't appear if there is nothing in the fields.

How would I go about setting up a pegboard for this? Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.
