Upgrade StorageEditing APA in visual editor: a delimiter's puzzle.
I'm editing APA to fit some specific publisher requests. I'm absolutely coding-illiterate so my solutions are hand held and probably laughable. But they work - except for one persistent problem.
Long story short: to go from (Peters, Peters, et al., 2019, p. 1) to (Peters, Peters et al. 2019, p. 1) - that is, removing some delimiters and keeping others in the inline citations, I've
- removed any delimiter including space from Inline citations -> Layout -> Group (and removed delimiters in connection with et al.)
- instead added "; " (including space) as a delimiter between entries/groups at Inline -> Layout (which retains the space between entries/groups: Peters 2019; Rogers 2019) as well as ", " between "Name" (which retains comma between Peters, Jenkins & Rogers 2019)
- and added "," as a prefix at Citation Locator -> Group. (which retains the comma at 2019, p.)
It works fine - except for more publications from the same author in a citation. Here the space after the ";" delimiter (added at Inline -> Layout) vanishes. It stays even if you suppress author names from two different authors (which you wouldn't): Peters, Rogers (2019; 2019), but with one author it is rendered (Peters 2011;2014;2019), that is, without space.
I can't seem to find the 'rule' or editing space that determines this specific situation. So the problem can perhaps be stated more simply:
Where does one edit the inline citations layout for multiple publications from the same author in a citation?
(I'm aware that some of the layout features are found in the Chicago style, but most of the requested layout including bibliography is based on APA)

The delimiter in question is most likely cite-group-delimiter, but again, hard to say without seeing the modified style.
