Import an album with track without ID

[catap]

Problem

I'm trying to import an album where the fist track hasn't got an ID. Autotagger suggest to update all indexes to +1 and set 1 to the first track which hasn't got and ID:

Hello! You may be looking for per_disc_numbering: https://beets.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/config.html#per-disc-numbering

[catap]

@sampsyo not quite. Here a single disk release where the first track is some introduction without any track ID. See picture from muzicbrainz:

[sampsyo]

Indeed. But as the docs say, this option also affects that numbering:

When this option is off (the default), even “pregap” hidden tracks are numbered from one, not zero, so other track numbers may appear to be bumped up by one. When it is on, the pregap track for each disc can be numbered zero.

[catap]

@sampsyo both possible value of per_disc_numbering: yes and no imports this album with the first track with ID 1 instead of 0.

[catap]

Editing album by hand and re-run beet mbsync -m moved tracks to start from 1 for this track without track.

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
