Books that span multiple volumes of a series
I have three books in my library that I'm trying to label correctly:

ePub #1 - Spy Series volumes 1-3
ePub #2 - Spy Series volumes 4-6
ePub #3 - Spy Series volume 7

The series has not finished being written and I expect a new volume #8 at some point soon.

How can I get Calibre to acknowledge that the first two items are compendiums?

I know it's klunky, but I use the series fields. I'd label these "Spy Series" and number them 1.23, 4.56, and 7. You could also tag them with "omnibus" or "compendium" or something.

Others use a calibre plugin to split the omnibus editions into seperate books.

That's an interesting idea. Thanks. I'd be very happy with this solution. Do you have a specific plugin to recommend?

FWIW, I found the 'official' answer to whether this feature (series numbering with ranges) might ever appear in the main app here. (TLDR: Never gonna happen)
