File Buddy can't do this.  It would be relatively easy to write an 
Applescript that does this though.  What is the exact format of the 
source & target filenames?

I.e. something like:

source = name + space + number + ".aif", and target = name + space + 
note/octave + ".aif", turning "viola 12.aif" into "viola B2.aif" for 
example.  Naming should start with file number 1 = C1.

If you can provide such a template (if the source names follow such a 
template at all, which I hope for you), then I might be able to come 
up with a script that does the renaming.
