What do you mean by widely available? A decent editor should let you choose whether to break apart clusters or not. I presume that such editors exist! (Mine always breaks clusters, but that's because I'm the only user, and I don't care enough to implement clustering;-) Yudit might be one, but since it seems to have no documentation, I can't tell. If yours doesn't, then get on to its authors! -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.
