Properties Dialog configuration question

Is it possible to make foobar display 2 different fields under one list name entry? I mean is it possible to write down something in "Advanced Preferences/Display/Properties dialog/Standard fields" that will cause that both TOTALTRACKS and TRACKTOTAL will be displayed under one name Total Tracks and this name will be displayed only once? If I just enter "Total Tracks=TRACKTOTAL;Total Tracks=TOTALTRACKS;" I got 2 name entries in Properties dialog, both named "Total Tracks". I want to have only one, but I want it to read from both fields - TOTALTRACKS and TRACKTOTAL. Is it possible? Is any syntax that would allow that in Properties dialog?

Sometimes I see that other software uses different fields names for same thing - like TOTALTRACKS and TRACKTOTAL. If I could bind both fields to one name that would be very convenient  no re-tagging will be required nor messy looking tags will appear...

*sigh* i just removed the content of a 2nd duff post.

i think you'll need to provide more detail on file type/tags because foobar already displays from both  (at least when using flac)

note how in this example i have 2 files tagged differently under metaflac but appear in foobar properties the same.

TOTALTRACKS returns the track total (if it is present) regardless of file type. TRACKTOTAL works only for Vorbis and FLAC.
