Dividing Tracks (DIVIDE)

This function allows you to divide recorded material that
has multiple tracks but only one track number, or to set a
new beginning point in the middle of a track.
Example: Dividing the second track
AAA
B1 B2

1 2 3
AAA
BBB
BBB
B1 B2

When you divide a track, the total number of tracks are
automatically increased by one and renumbered.
