This AppleScript loop replaces two carriage returns (\r\r} to one (\r), so just
put your search and replace items in their place:
tell application "BBEdit"
activate
select text 1 of project window 1
open find window
repeat
replace "\\r\\r" using "\\r" searching in selection of project
window 1 options {search mode:grep, starting at top:false, wrap around:false,
backwards:false, case sensitive:false, match words:false, extend
selection:false}
end repeat
end tell
