Question How to merge several separate PT sessions into one ?

Hi Everyone !
I need to find the solution to how to create one long session out of several separate sessions. There are four songs, that need to be put together one after another preserving all individual tempo maps, markers and all audio regions. The beginning of the second song will be for example in measure 97 right after the first song ended. How to import all data from that session, so the starting bar will be 97, and all files will relate to that beginning ? I wanna also keep measures numbers running ( 97, 98, 99 etc.).
Is it even possible within PT to combine several sessions ?
Sincerely,
Chris7514

Best way is to start with a new session.

Import Session Data...

When you import a session, you can simply select where you want the new data to start.

So you can import the first session to start at the beginning... then you can import the next one and designate where you want that one to start, and so on.

Hi,

but I don´t think, that you can import the tempo map of a second piece, without deleting the tempomap of the one before...or am I wrong?

Sorry, I have to ask.......why? What is the goal here? At first glance, I would be tempted to simply mix each session, bounce them all down, and then import the final stereo tracks into a new session where I would string them together(but I may be missing the point here)

It´s for film scoring...
If you wanne import stuff, you had f.e. in Reel 01 and wanna import it into Reel 02, without temp Mixes, cause you wanna edit in the arrangement with SamplerInstruments (MIDI etc)...

Just with Audio, fine, but yeah...MIDI is the point...

So, no chance to get the tempo within the "Import Session" Dialog without loosing the one before...?
