How to stop Music from adding track numbers?

How do you stop music from adding track numbers before filenames of music tracks when you have “Keep Music Folder Organized”?

I found out Onyx can toggle that preference under Parameters>>Applications.

Missing tracks in Music app--fix more than one at a time? Years of using iTunes left me with a music folder with thousands of duplicate tracks, which I recently went through and deleted. For the most part this worked OK, but a few thousand tracks in Music are associated with the deleted duplicate files. I was prepared for this because Music is supposed to ask, when locating a missing song, if we want to find other missing songs from the same album. You see where this is going--Music is refusing to ask this, leaving me with the prospect of searching for 10-15 times more tracks than I anticipated. Was this feature removed for some reason (probably because Apple hates Mac users these days, honestly), or is there something I need to do to get it to trigger?

Music "Not added" folders in "Automatically add to Music" Lordy. Music 1.2.5.7 seems to have a new feature that is driving me nuts. When music that may already exist is added a second time to the "Automatically add to Music" folder, Music doesn't silently ignore the new files, or delete them. Instead it creates a "Not added" folder and then ENDLESSLY creates timestamped folders with the music files, rolling them from folder to folder until some undetermined timeout occurs. I have 770 such folders for just one add attempt. Anybody seen this? Anyway around it?

Organize Music Library What does the Music App do when you slect "Organize Library" from the file menu? I think it may help some issues I have (things in odd places, nothing critical) but I'd hate for it to cause more problems as I have a LOT of original unreleased music in there.
