As depicted in the screenshot below, the track titled "Piano Concerto #2" appears twice ("Piano Concerto #2 - 1st movement" and "Piano Concerto #2"). The latter actually comprises the next two tracks ("3rd movement" and "4th movement") such that when I right-click on the "Piano Concerto #2" track alone (duration: 20:07) and click "delete track", all three tracks are deleted. Interestingly, titles in the source CD (Innuos) do not show any duplication. The same error re-appears after deleting the entire CD in Innuos and ripping the Innuos source file a second time.
DUPLICATE TRACK ISSUE

Solution
So long as you are satisfied that the metadata is correct during the CD ripping on the ZENith (and you can use Assisted Mode on the ripper to double check this data yourself before ripping) then when it gets to Roon, just go to the Edit Album and instruct it to 'Prefer File';
This seems more of an issue to do with how Roon is handling the data on this - if you say the copied files within the Innuos are correct, then perhaps you are better off instructing this album to read its data from the file tags instead of the external Roon database?
The few "problematic" discs in my music collection are based on performances from the 1930s. I manually entered the title of each track because virtually none of them was listed in the external Roon database. Roon has a "clean-up" feature, but it failed to correct the problem.

The "Prefer file" option at the album-level edit page was already selected at the time I first noticed the anomaly. See screenshot below.
Also note that the identical issue occurs near the top of this disc. The line "Brandenburg Concerto No. 2" (16:28) includes three listings (5:37, 4:45, 6:46) that are grouped within the album line. The line cannot be deleted without deleting the three other listings. A few other discs in my collection suffer the same problem, even though the Innous source disks look fine.
