In this thread ==>> how to write enable calibredb on mac osx the OP mentions the LazyLibrarian program. It may be of interest to you - caveat, I think it is only available for Linux or MacOS.
I keep Author information in Evernote notes, see ==>> Calibre and Evernote. But, I don't copy any data from my Author notes into calibre library metadata columns. If an Author has an Evernote protocol link (evernote://blah-blah) in the Link field, when I click on Author name in Book Details that Author's Note is popped by Evernote.

Wow, this is a nice way to integrate Calibre with Evernote, thanks for the advices and the info. I got 24 fields to exclude and I fear they might be others hidden somewhere

The first time I copied and pasted metadata I was impressed by how many things were changed. That's why for single books I prefer Alt+M to merge just additional metadata.
