Clifford:
  Legacy includes a source detail entry when the IGI provides this information 
such as:

citing microfilm 0934307 for batch 7400716, sheet 55, downloaded 21 Feb 2005
citing microfilm 446356, reference number 92186, downloaded 21 Feb 2005
citing microfilm 537323, downloaded 21 Feb 2005
citing microfilm 538026, downloaded 21 Feb 2005

If the IGI doesn't have detail source information, then only the master source 
entry you mentioned is used.

You're right that there is no way to review this source detail information 
while on the IGI possible matches screen except by using the '@' button 
match-by-match.  I would like to see a sources tab on the side by side 
comparison (or some other way to review the sources before merging into my 
file).
