If I remove some rackspaces/variations, will that mess up the connection between songs and rackspaces?

The SongParts are using an internal unique identifier that’s tied to a rackspace. If you are curious you can look in the underlying gig file and you will see that there is an attribute associated with each rackspace and that’s used for the association. Moving the order of rackspaces or deleting other rackspaces has no impact on this.
