No, especially if you just change the policy so it fits to:

QString bar(int i)
{
  mycommand(no_capital_letters);
  if (whatever) oneliner();
  if (stuff)
  {
    firstcommand();
    nextcommand();
  }
}

this is just my opinion of course. Now is the time to do a change!
innerCapitals are annoying because you never know if command-parts are
withIn one word or if they are two words.
{ and } on the same indentation increase readAbility.
