> I am having an issue with getting et-al to function properly.
Maybe it's a bug in refer? A number of other things also don't work as I would want them to, for example "@.r" reverses only the names of the first author, not the others. As a quick workaround for "et al." in the labels, you might try something like the following: label "(A1?(A1.n(A3?' et al.':A2&' & 'A2.n)):Q)', '(D.y|D)" This doesn't consider uniqueness of the labels, however -- it's up to you to make sure that the labels are not ambiguous.
