If I have a record with multiple 520s, is there a way to merge those into one 520 field, either with a dedicated MARCedit function, or maybe with some crafty combination of other functions?  

I was thinking a find/replace that only impacted the first instance of a given field would make it possible--put some identifying mark at the beginning of the first 520$a, and then have a find/replace remove every "=520  \\$a" EXCEPT for the ones with that special identifying mark.  But that seems like something that wouldn't be possible.

Thanks for any help/suggestions anyone can give me!
