Here is something you might like -- I fixed this up the other day: http://cottagematic.com/examples/ It's a project skeleton, (plus contents), that lets you access the symbol and footprint libraries contained in it without changing your global settings. In it you will see some project specific symbols and footprints, plus a copy of John Luciani's footprint library. They are not run together, but in separate library dirs, so making variations of a design based on different libs, but same netlist (and symbol and footprint names) is possible. That concept of different libs with same component names is enough to cause confusion sometimes, but is often what happens as you evolve designs related to each other and still need past designs... to do that you create a new project and separate copy of libraries and never let the old designs get overwritten by newer symbols or footprints.
