Dear List,

I am new to Bibdesk, but not new to LaTeX & friends.

In my present project (editing parts of a design report with multiple  
authors giving me LaTeX sources of their contributions) I have the  
following issue:

We have a number of citations. Some authors have several documents  
listed under one citation key.

E.g.

\bibitem[ref:key1] {A. Author, Title, Journal etc... and\\
B.Author, Title, Journal etc..}

(There are variations to this theme like lab reports bearing the  
number of several labs [don't ask; in physics all sorts of things  
happen..)

While I can handle these in "manual" bibliographies (\bibliography 
{99} ... \end{bibliography}) I am not sure how to put these in to  
BibTeX and, by extension, BibDesk. The multiple report numbers I  
think I can do using the Note field, but for the true multiple  
documents I do not know a good way. I suppose the Note would work  
here as well, with manually formatting things, but maybe someone has  
a smarter idea?

Because I am editor, not author of the contributions I cannot make  
too drastic changes (so I can't tell my people not to do this). Also,  
I am not getting .bib files but the bibliographies are in the  
contribs. This is SOP in my area of work & not easily changed.

While I am at it; is there a way to add fields to the BibDesk records  
"en masse" i.e. by selecting multiple records? Sort-of like in iTunes  
where I can select multiple tracks and then add the composer in one  
operation.

Thanks in advance

Uli
