This is part of the the manual of Chess Position Trainer

1 candidate moves: Usually you only want to have one candidate move for your side for each position.
Sometimes you want to add alternative moves, but sometimes for example due to an import you have
unintentionally more than one candidate move for your side. This criteria lets you go to the next position,
where more than candidate move exists for your side (opponent side is ignored).

I don't understand that sites like Chesstempo.com, don't have this functionality.
Besides Chess Position Trainer, I also don't know of any other chess software that has a similar functionality.
I like the three view when browsing a pgn database in Scid, but I miss this functionality. What I do now is using ">1 candidate moves" in Chess Position Trainer, an then past these positions in Scid each time.
Than I delete the games with the candidate move I don't like from the pgn file.
But I loos allot of time this way.
I really want an option to do this directly for a database loaded in Scid in tree view.
I know I can export a repertoire in Chess Position Trainer back to pgn afterwards (after removing candidate moves I don't want), but CPT is buggy and slow. And there is also some strange explosions of number of games in the exported pgn with CPT

I have made a video capture how the function ">1 candidate moves" works in Chess Position Trainer.
