Combining Tracks
This function allows you to combine any two tracks into a
single track. The two tracks need not to be consecutive
nor chronological. You can combine several tracks into a
single medley, or several independently recorded portions
into a single track. When you combine two tracks, the
total number of tracks decreases by one and all tracks
following the combined track are renumbered.
Example: Combining the second track and the
fourth track
AAA BBB
BBB
DDD
CCC
1 2 3
AAA BBB DDD CCC
1 2 4 3
If both of the combined tracks have a track name, the
name of the second track is erased.

This is a technical limitation of the MD system and is not a
mechanical error.
