Edit > Labelled Regions

Another possible solution is that rather than introducing another menu option, introduce a simple rule:
All labelled regions are treated separately unless overlapping.

I've been testing this and it is far more versatile than the current implementation.
The required code change is trivial.

To put it another way, overlapping regions are treated as one region.

For temporarily "tying" together multiple labels, overlapping labels can be added to a new label track.
I'm liking this solution - it is very versatile.

For anyone that builds Audacity from the source code, here is patch to implement: "All labelled regions are treated separately unless overlapping."
The code change is just Line 4157 of src/Project.cpp

- if( cur->start <= last->end )
+ if( cur->start < last->end )

This is really another example of one that needs to be developed to a Proposal in the Wiki if it is to move forward at all.
