I see no conflict in combining them! One could have a long
live-recording which you want to split up into separate tracks, and then
another live-recording to do the same. Then you have 2 songs with
multiple trackmarks, and you probably want them on CD like this:

1: song 1 mark 1
2: song 1 mark 2
3: song 1 mark 3
4: song 2 mark 1
5: song 2 mark 2
6: song 2 mark 3

It's just a matter of incrementing the track counter for each trackmark,
and iterate through the songs.
