Some people like to use 'Fred & Mary Jones' as a single author name. That said, I was quite sure you were trying to split author names, something that manage authors will not do.

It may be that you mean if multiple authors are listed with a comma separating them then Calibre identifies them as a single author and so you need first to insert the & sign at book metadata level.

Commas are ignored. 'Joe Blogs, Suzy Texts' is one author as far as calibre is concerned, just as is 'Roosevelt, Franklin Delano, Jr. '.

If that is what you meant then you must be correct because you can't replace the comma with an & in "author" column under "manage author" as I stated in my original post.

Yes. From your post it appeared that you were trying to use manage authors to split what calibre considers to be a single author into 2 authors. Manage authors won't do that. You must instead split the authors in the books where they occur.
