The basic problem is that referencing symbols in a global library re= quires that the global library not change. So, if you change the default li= brary, you break old projects.

A tool to create and maintain project-specific libraries would be welcome. = Doing this in command line isn=E2=80=99t terrible, but it would be nicer to= be able to browse through the entire gedasymbols library to harvest symbol= s for a project.

Thats why we have revision numbers= . Change anything you want but issue it as a new revision. Old code still g= rabs the old rev and you ony get the new one if you ask for it.
