Multi-Disc CD Album Conversion to Single File - Tag Overwrites

I'm currently sorting out my ripped CD selection and coalescing my albums from one-file-per-CD to one-file-per album, where there may be several CDs in the album.

Twice now I've noted an issue with tagging where if there are more than 100 tracks in the embedded cuesheet FLAC file any attempt to tag tracks 101 onwards will overwrite tags on file 1 onwards.

Is there any possibility of increasing the permissible number of tracks per embedded cuesheet FLAC file and allow the tracks tags to be updated?

Should have added, I'm using a portable installation of v2.2 preview 2024-09-11 (installed over a previous version).

I've created a test set of files (each a 3% sample of each track), currently named as seven different album titles but with the correct discnumber and totaldiscs in each, which when all set to the same album title and converted to a single file shows the problem - which seems as if it may be more track number related than tagging in general.

The problem is that all per-track tags exept %artist% and %title% are written not in cue, but in separate FLAC tags - like CUE_TRACK01_DISCNUMBER and so on. And they are only written for tracks from 0 to 99. You can see them in resulting file Properties if disable cuesheet using Utilities->Edit cuesheet->uncheck "Enable embedded cuesheet".

Thanks for that.. Looks like I'll just need to change the title in tags after conversion to seven separate files (which should look like one album in foobar2000).
