When we use a group, there's a single iteration only for the leader event. But if not, it'll iterate the hist entries twice (for two events). Each iteration used to have multiple entries for the same symbol (due to the sort key), so it marked the symbol (by freeing notes->src) to skip the same symbol during the iteration. However as the first iteration freed sym->notes->src, then the second (or later) event cannot see the annotation for the deleted symbols for that event even if it has some samples. > > But since I have no time to dive into this and Namhyung is ok with it, > I'll merge it now.
