Probably you will want to use some sort of repertoire "merge" and this is how the polyglot engine book works. Also the Scid "tree mask" does similar. The basic idea is you keep the whole repertoire as plain moves in a large database, and you keep all repertoire annotations in a separate small database.
I like the book merging options of Polyglot but it is not so easy to convert them back to pgn.
Can you explain me how this Scid "tree mask" function works please?
What version of Scid do you use for this?
I use Chess Position Trainer to make my repertoires. But I train them in Chessable or any other app I like.
I don't want to get stuck, to train the openings only in Chess Position Trainer.
Especially because CPT is outdated.
I prefer to delete the candidate moves I don't want. But because of the bug in cpt, that I don't keep the position. Maybe marking the moves with a ? would also work.
Then I can export the repertoire in CPT to pgn, and search for these games with a ? and delete these games. (CPT creates a new game for each separate opening line in the exported pgn).
I didn't try it yet but I think this might work. Although it is not an ideal approach.
