I also found learning the Legacy method of source citation difficult and indeed asked Legacy support if they would consider making a simple source citation method as a bolt on to what was already there. For instance, if there is a fact or event you want to add a simple source citation to, a source button with only ONE popup box to copy the citation to without having to go through all the various complicated manoeuvres of Legacy sourcing. This would satisfy both camps who want to have all the complexity and those who want the simplicity of source citations. The response from Legacy was negative ;<<
