Dividing a track (TRACK DIVIDE)

Use the following procedure to divide a track into two by inserting a track number in its middle. For example, by in- serting an additional track number before the passage you are specially fond of, it is easy to skip to there when you play the disc later. Note that the track numbers of the tracks located after the divided track are automatically incremented.
