Not that I am aware of.
First, I would not delete the secondary source. It is still a legitimate
part of your research and documentation. Instead, simply add the new one.
(You can prevent the secondary source from printing in reports if that is
your preference.)
My suggestion:
1. Using the Master Source, create your new source.
2. locate your secondary source in the Master Source list
on the right side, click "show list", at the bottom choose a Tag # to
use, "Untag everyone in File" (bottom right), then "Tag everyone in list"
(bottom left), then "Create Search List" and "Create New Search List"
3. Close Master Source List
4. Click "Search" and "View Search List"
5. for the first record you want to work with, click "Source" tab, go to
the appropriate Event, and click "Cite" then apply your new Source. Save.
Click the "clipboard" (bottom right) to copy the source.
6. go to the next record, select the appropriate Event, click the "paste"
icon (upper left, looks like a dash [--]), edit the Source Detail if
necessary, then save.
7. repeat
If you've got a long list, you may want to double-click the 'X' in the
tag column to clear it so you know which ones you have already done.

I have a question for you power users - is there a way to globally change
sources? For example, I have a transcription of a will that I have sourced
from its secondary source, then I go to the courthouse and verify it, and
want to change every reference of that secondary source to the primary
courthouse document.
The only way I know how to do this is to create a search list for the
secondary source, and for each entry, delete the old source and re-enter the
new one.
Is there an easier way?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
