Dear Michele, Many thanks for this. What you describe is what I've been doing up to now, though without all the detail of witnesses etc - though, as you say, they could easily be added.
I thought that using 'master sources' was the 'way to go' but I'm rapidly rethinking that it is really just extra clutter. Your email is very reassuring.
