I have a book in my library that is books 1-6 in a series.
How can I set the series value to MySeries [1-6].

So far I have had to set the series value to MySeries [1] and set the Title to be 'MySeries Books 1-6' but I don't find this to be what I am looking for.

This would allow the series field to look sort of like a print range dialogue? Where you can print pages 1,3,5-16 in a document?

I think that this may be a 'Feature request'? Since I believe that this functionality is not built into Calibre.

I am aware that I can split books (found a nice tutorial at http://dearauthor.com/ebooks/using-e...tion-box-sets/) but I actually like having it as one volume. I just want to be able to label it as such.

I hope that you can help,
Thanks,
Marlen
