I'm just a bit concerned about the performance of creating buffers on demand based on tags. I'm currently maintaining approx. 1800 references with more than 8000 keywords/tags. Also, the more references there are, the more useful it is to look for references that contain two or more keywords rather than just one. > Please also advise if this is a poor use of muse and there is an > alternate package with which I can accomplish my goals. > I use planner-mode (which runs on top of muse) for project planning, for writing instructions and method sheets, and for just about everything else. I guess there is no poor use if things work the way you want. I prefer to maintain references in a database (http://refdb.sourceforge.net). There is an Emacs frontend (see http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/RefdbMode) which allows you to run your everyday tasks from within Emacs. There is also reverse lookup (jump to the reference from e.g. an author name or a citation key in your document) as well as citation support. The latter works also for Muse documents.
