My problem is that all my tags from Leafmarks are separated by semicolons instead of comma's, so I have just one long tag for each book, ie:
2016;sff;favorite;ultra-violence
when I want multiple tags like this:
2016, sff, favorite, ultra-violence

Is there an easy way to solve this? I've got about 2700 book entries to edit and it would be nice if there was a bulk way to separate them. Thanks for any help or info.

Using Win10 with calibre 2.58.
Search and Replace (bulk mode metadata)
Might take multiple passes (it walks to next semicolon)
S: (.+?)\;(.+?)
R: \1, \2

same field
