Why can't you do this with a metadata plugboard? Something like

Code:

{authors:'re($, ' & ', ', ')'}

will change all the ampersands to commas. It doesn't deal with the apparent exception -- changing the last ampersand to ' and ', but this should be possible using a nested re. Something like

Code:

{authors:'re(re($, '(.*) & '. '\1 and'), ' & ', ', ')'}
