Hi Fulvio, great explanation, thank you! It seems you improved SCID a lot since the last time I used it seriously 😊. I've tested it with an extra tag [Co-author "..."] and it worked.
I will check if I can manage a local compilation with custom export features... Best, Ulrich > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Fulvio <[email protected]> > Gesendet: Freitag, 6.
