How to edit an almost-correct match

[ChristopherJTrent]

I have reasonably well organized music, and beets is finding albums OK (not well, but it's acceptable)
However, every. single. track. is being matched as a different track on the album. Literally not one of them is actually correct.
Is there any way to edit the album match so that the tracks actually match correctly before I save all the metadata?

Not really. I would suggest adjusting match.distance_weights until you get correct matches. For example, see my configuration:

match:
  distance_weights:
    album: 4.0
    album_id: 0.0
    albumdisambig: 4.5
    artist: 4.0
    catalognum: 3.0
    country: 1.0
    genre: 1.0
    label: 3.0
    media: 1.0
    mediums: 1.0
    missing_tracks: 0.0
    data_source: 0.0
    track_artist: 4.0
    track_index: 0.0
    track_id: 1.0
    track_length: 5.0
    track_title: 4.0
    tracks: 0.0
    unmatched_tracks: 5
    year: 4.0

Weird. The ability to directly fix file->track matches seems like pretty basic functionality. It's also just shocking to me because my filenames are literally the title of the song, and beets is getting it wrong consistently
