Hi Nancy,
This is just me, but I leave the capitalization. However, in cases where
part of a word is capitalized, I either make the entire word either upper or
lower case. I think that the odd capitalization in these cases simply had
to do with the length of the line on the printed page, so if the page were a
little wider, or narrower, the number of capitalized letters would have been
greater or fewer. Hence, why I choose to make the word either all caps or
not at all. I tend to lean to finishing out the capitalization in a word
rather than removing it.
Just my opinion though.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Use of Capital Letters in Printed Text
Good Evening,
I'm validating a book where, when the scene changes, the first few words of
the new scene are all in upper case. It actually has more to do with
distance, I think, because sometimes the capitalization ends in the middle
of a word.
The scanner identifies this correctly, and the first few words are
appropriately capitalized. I could do nothing, which would certainly be
easiest, but if someone is listening to this book aloud, they will sometimes
hear words mispronounced, since the first part of the word is capitalized,
while the rest is not.
Do I leave the capitalization alone, even though it causes the book to be
read oddly?
Thanks.
