Just add a field called "bibliography" to the source tiddler with whatever 
value you like -- it doesn't have to show up in the dropdown to use it. I 
think it's not in my default set of fields because plenty of my source 
tiddlers don't use one. Also, you have to create a bibliography tiddler for 
each bibliography, which has the same key in its *bibliography* field as 
the sources you want to include on it, and transcludes the template 
{{||$:/sib/BibliographyList}}.

I'm not sure what you're saying about the View Template.

Yeah, that's why I included a "no instructions" disclaimer when I posted 
this. :-)

I don't know why that would be. The filter for SourceList is just 
`[tag[Source]]`, so there's not much room for issues here! Perhaps 
something to do with your confusion about the interaction of this with the 
refnotes plugin?
