It would seem to me that when there is one and ONLY one source in the Master Source list, a(any)the) program ought not need too much more to identify an ibid or an idem or even an op cit. Yet, none of them seem to. :( Agreed that when person A has 10 source citations and person B has 8 and person C 16, ibid probably won't work real often, but op cit certainly should.
IS that subsequent citation thing working for you? I'm not seeing any difference in my output. Yes, I know I can edit it after creating the file, but _having to_ seems unnecessary.
