Before starting to experimenting...
1) In BD > Prefs > Fields > Advanced: I am able to modify Types and Fields. Is
this written to TypeInfo.plist?
2) Will TypeInfo.plist be replaced during an update?
3) What happens when I change the TypeInfo.plist and afterwards open an already
existing bib file. Does field names convert in some way? Or which steps would
you suggest to move from bibtex to biblatex when using BD?
Thanks in advance!
