We need to add the optimization step number to the compound name in Quantiva transition lists, as we do for Waters Xevo transition lists, where you can find the code:

            if (step != 0)
            {
                compound += '.'; // Not L10N
                compound += step.ToString(CultureInfo);
            }

This will group optimization steps together, and make it so that we only need to use a transition count increment when we actually have over 10 product ions to monitor, and not just when product ion count * step count > 10.

In Thermo data, it also has the property of putting a full set of product ions into a single spectrum for each CE step.
