Is there a way to load more than one library at a time? Document Options, Expressions, Articulations etc., in one fell swoop? (Wonder where that expressions comes from.)

Fell means something like evil, disastrous, like that. So I picture a "fell swoop" as being an attack by a flying fury, vampire, pterodactyl, or something similar.

I'm sure there's a synonym in pop culture, but I can't think of it off hand.
