There's a good discussion about the mechanics of Jellby's footnoting/endnoting mechanism in this thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=103290 - read all the way to the end.

FWIW, I don't think it makes a rat's butt worth of difference whether you use foot- or endnotes; it's stylistic, in large part, and manageability in the other part--if you have very verbose authors who use a lot of citations in each "chapter" or section or segment, it may be easier to footnote the thing, and try to keep each section's notes together, rather than extensive endnoting. In Sigil, if you do all your noting before you split the Chapters, Sigil should do the updating for each Chapter (document) for you, IIRC.

@Capidamonte uses NoteTab Pro for all his notational projects, and he seems to like that quite well; if it were me, I'd do that, then drop that sucker into Sigil, insert the chapter breaks (had I not already--I have a clip in NT that does that for me), and then split it so I wouldn't have to track what went where after the split, for whatever that's worth.

HTH,

Hitch
