I am successfully writing the DAO w/CD-Text session using a Cue Sheet, but I am unable to prevent the session being closed (fixated?) and thus cannot append a needed CD-ROM session. The audio session is about an hour long and consists of 8 tracks. The audio source (.wav) file is a single file with the tracks as defined in the cue sheet which includes CD-Text information. The Cue sheet is as defined in the old CDRWin software of years ago! I have tried every way I think of to prevent the session from fixating. That is what is apparently preventing me from adding a second session of CD-ROM data.
I have tried first clicking the Audio CD tab and unselecting Close CD (and I have also tried with it in its default Close CD state). Then to burn the audio session using a Cue sheet I have opened the Disc Image tab, selected Write Image, DAO and CD Text, then browsed to and selected my Cue sheet.
Then clicking I have successfully burned the audio session but I cannot prevent it from being closed (fixated?). I have confirmed the audio session is correct, by playing it and noting the CD-Text information is correctly displayed.
Here is the CUE sheet:

I believe this is what is preventing me from adding a secon session to create an enhanced-cd (CD-Audio + CD-ROM).

The settings of different projects are independent. Changing settings for the Audio CD project will have no effect when writing an Audio CD with a cue sheet via the Disc image project.
The problem is not that the audio session is closed, but that the disc is closed/fixated. An enhanced CD is a multi-session CD. Currently cdrtfe does not directly support to write an Audio CD from a cue sheet in multi-session mode, however, there is a workaround:
First session (Audio tracks):
Go to the settings dialog (Alt-S), select the tab 'cdrecord', enable the option 'additional commandline options' for 'cdrecord' and enter
-multi
in the corresponding field. Click 'Ok'.
Go to the 'Disc image' tab and write the cue sheet with the settings from your original post.
After the audio session has been written, disable the additional commandline option for cdrecord again.
Second session (Data session):
Go to the 'Data disc' project, open the options dialog and use the following settings:
Multisession: enabled
Import previous sessions: disabled
track at once: enabled (not sure, if disc at once will work)
When starting the burning process, cdrtfe will ask you, if you really don't want to import the previous session. Confirm this and proceed.

That worked perfectly! Thank you.
