1 See file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mp3tag/help/options\_export.html#syntax says

> [@](#):

> $loop(%fieldname%) starts a new loop. The loop data is sorted by the fieldname.  
> $loopend() ends a loop.  
> If you want to limit the loop output to a certain number of entries, simply use $loop(%fieldname%,num). This is useful to eliminate duplicate records (num=1).

2 Select five tracks  
3 Export with this config

```
$loop(%dummy%)1 $loopend(), $loop(%dummy%,1)2 $loopend(), $loop(%dummy%)3 $loopend()

```

Expected : 1 1 1 1 1 , 2 , 3 3 3 3 3  
Observed: 1 1 1 1 1 , 2 , 3

Anyone know a workaround?
