Summary: Way to mass update \fr in footnotes

Initial Comment:
I have several projects which I have imported into Bibledit. One is the whole 
Orya NT. When we published the NT, the publisher made each footnote start with 
the chapter and verse number (in bold face, formed like this: 6:2). However 
this was done in the publishing phase, and my imported Bibledit files still 
don't include \fr codes with the chapter and verse. There are over 1,000 
footnotes in the whole NT.

Since using an initial \fr is the the prefered way to start a footnote (judging 
from how Bibledit is set up), I would like to mass update all my footnotes in 
all my projects, so that they all start with an \fr that points to the parent 
verse.

I imagine my publisher could give us a Consistent Changes table that would do 
that. But perhaps it would be good to add a tool within Bibledit that would do 
the same thing. 

While it is checking all footnotes, it would be good to have it check that 
entries that already have an \fr have the desired format. I am sure that I 
entered a number of footnotes with the chapter/verse separator character as a 
period. After several weeks using the program, I changed that to a colon, which 
is my preference. So it would be good to have the program fix any entries that 
are not according to the user's preference.

Thanks!
Phil

Such a tool should be in Bibledit already, under menu Tools / Origin
references in Bible notes.

Does this work for you?

Please try first on a copy of your data, not the original data itself, in
case something unexpected happens.
