It seems like it's just a unique number determined by a counter, but each time Ardour starts, the counter increments by what looks like 100. So the first few files and regions to get created get numbers like 100, 101, 102, and the next time I start Ardour they start at 200, 201, 202. Odd, maybe there was some kind of collision in the past caused by a crashed Ardour not saving the highest ID it had assigned to something before.

Cool. How does Ardour know what is the max ID to start with when it opens up a session? In other words, where in the session file is the current or max ID saved? I looked, and couldn't find it.
