Re: [Gramps-users] Confidence Levels in Citations??

[Detlef W. <det...@t-...>]

Hi Florian,

I personally do not work with confidence levels. Therefore I do not know 
whether there are other solution. I would add the number of the entry on 
a page; e.g. for a 3rd entry

   volume 5 page 117 No. 3

Please see the definition for 'NR_T' at GenWiki [1] (in German).

Best regards
Detlef
