In an action group, what action can I use to set the TRACK field of the tracks to successive numbers e.g. 1,2,3 etc? Thanks.

Thanks D. In "Format TRACK#Set TRACK var 1" I found

```
[#0]
T=5
F=TRACK
1=%_counter%

```

and confirmation %\_counter% here is defined behaviour at [https://docs.mp3tag.de/actions](https://docs.mp3tag.de/actions) leading to [https://docs.mp3tag.de/converters/rename-files](https://docs.mp3tag.de/converters/rename-files) .
